DESCRIPTION

Masonry was selected for its durability, permanence, and how it reads uniquely at multiple scales. From distance, it reads as a strong, monolithic mass. Closer up, the mass is broken up by varying the texture but not the material, bringing legibility to the floors of the building. Close up, its module and textured face give it an intimate scale while maintaining its massive quality.

Supplier:  Expocrete Concrete Products Ltd 
Owner:  Edgewood Estates
General:  Akman Construction Ltd
 
 

DESCRIPTION
We decided on the masonry route due to the size and nature of the project. The building is a high-rise and a residence so of course, the most important aspect of masonry is

the safety factor. With 225 units and 180 feet, we did not want to take chances with the residents’ safety. In addition, masonry provided privacy by greatly reducing noise transfer and overall adds 25 years to the lifecycle of the building.

DESCRIPTION
The limestone was selected for a number of environmental reasons: 1) low-embodied energy; 2) durability and permanence; 3) locally-mined material. It was also chosen for its old-world style aesthetic. The owners liked the look of the old stone foundations, therefore a supply of naturally-aged stone was sourced and each stone was hand-chipped in order to achieve this look.

Masonry was selected in an effort to knit together existing construction with the new.
