Toronto Soft Loft Buildings
High Park Lofts - 433 Roncesvalles Avenue
It's an unusual design for a residential structure. Crafted by Toronto architect Stanford Downey, High Park Lofts is actually two long, thin, glass-sided, seven-storey slabs standing parallel to each other. They are separated by a 130-foot-long, glass-roofed central atrium that is intended to become a "lushly landscaped garden," fully climate-controlled.
Available heat will be used to maximum advantage. The earth itself – penetrated by some 80 little geothermal bore holes – will be tapped to provide natural warming and cooling for the building's interior.
The light advantage at High Park Lofts is surely worth noting. Lofts will be opened and brightened by windows fore and aft – facing inward to the atrium and outward to the world. In theory, each loft will have access to all the sunlight there is, whether it shines in directly, or is filtered through the atrium skylights.
The new building deliberately incorporates design elements such as an enormous interior atrium allowing suites to be flooded with light on both sides. This gives a cathedral-like ambiance to the building. It is 120 feet long and 60 feet high and has gracefully arched beams, and domed skylights of stained glass. High Park is down the street. Dundas West subway stop is two blocks north. Parkside Drive provides quick access to the Gardiner Expressway and a streetcar runs pasts the front door directly to King and Bay.
