Description

Towerhouse proposes eight towers plus accessory buildings on a four-lot assembly (spanning a lane). With no underground parking and one elevator serving two buildings, the proposal uses exterior circulation and lush communal gardens at grade to foster community connection and provide small-scale commercial spaces. Units can be naturally ventilated with multiple exposures to support climate resiliency and well-being.

(From competitor's text)

Jury Report

Towerhouse proposes an open ground plane with a design that makes it a very desirable space. A number of submissions propose similar checker-board site plans that toggled open space and built form, but this solution is the most successful and elegant among them. Also similar to many entries, it eliminates underground parking on-site and includes a few spaces for car shares. Its climate strategies are solid and proven, and importantly link the technical design decisions about reducing carbon to the more social side of climate resiliency by designing to encourage active transportation over driving and connections with neighbours through the community room and shared outdoor spaces. It does not require land assembly, yet with one or two lots is able to add density and challenge the status quo.
