Located in Don Mills, Canada’s first corporate suburb, Scarsdale office complex is intended to intensify the use of the site by replacing an under utilized 2-storey structure with a five-storey office and mixed-use building, incorporating warehouse spaces. The massing strategy aims to create a bold presence on Scarsdale Road while maintaining a pedestrian friendly scale- the building steps back above the 2nd floor. The first 2-storey podium contain warehouse space, cafeteria and an integrated parking structure at the rear of the site. Two 3-storey, bar-shaped volumes contain office space rest over the podium and cantilever eastward over an open green space and access road. The cantilever allows for additional usable area while creating a bold presence. Precast concrete panel form 53.6 percent of the exterior envelope reducing heat loss in the winter, glare and heat gain in the summer.
