Conservation principles have guided the staged restoration

program for the intricate masonry envelope including the

research and development for the use of a proprietary pre-

cast ‘roman stone’. The design of this stone responded to

the original mix and modernized its manufacture aligning

it with contemporary standards while preserving its most

signifi cant properties.

CASA LOMA

1994 – 2009 I City of Toronto, Cultural Assets I $16.25M CDN

The building is a laboratory for the understanding of

masonry construction principles. The goal of re-establishing

equilibrium of distressed masonry assemblies informs every

decision and choice of restoration methods. Toronto’s climate

is varied and demanding and exacts a heavy toll on building

elements. Correspondingly, detailing of traditional materials,

such as lead sheet, is unapologetic and robust.

LAKESHORE CAMPUS WEST LIBRARY, TORONTO

2003 – 2005 I Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning I $5.45 M CDN

The introduction of a long sloping glass wall across the

original building plan reorganized the entire space, resolving

geometries and generated a series of events and spaces

that re-energized the library program. This gesture coalesces

the reinterpretation of light within the library: an enigmatic

arrangement of globes; a side lit clerestory lantern; borrowed

light and views from the rest of the building.

The interior re-structuring expresses itself coyly as a set of

new apertures that are clearly legible within the fabric of the

original 1970’s brick building.

The design aesthetic of the Library expresses Humber’s

ambitions as a progressive, forward-thinking institution, open

to re-interpreting itself for future students and staff.

URBAN ECOLOGY CENTRE, TORONTO

2007 I Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning I $3.5 M CDN

The Centre for Urban Ecology is an

outpost in a garden distant from other

suburban educational buildings: a place of

contemplation and study for ideas relating

to the advancement of technology in the

service of the natural world.

Viewed from the garden it transcends its

setting. Upon arrival, it is transformed into

a lens from which the complexities of the

urban landscape are revealed through

instruction and interaction. The teaching

program now uses the building’s innovative

systems as a demonstration of what can be

achieved through intelligent use of building

technologies.

R.C. HARRIS WATER TREATMENT PLANT, THE BEACHES TORONTO

1997 – 2009 I Toronto Water, City of Toronto I $25 M CDN

This designated heritage site was built in

the 1930’s and still produces over 45%

of the drinking water for Toronto and

its burgeoning region. It is a stunning

example of forward thinking and its

supreme utility is matched only by the

sensuous restraint of its Art Deco masonry

detailing.

These infrastructure projects are important

civic utilities and cultural markers. In

this case, the necessity of updating

the existing technologies has been

matched by a corresponding initiative to

conserve and restore the building fabric,

re-establishing the equilibrium between

envelope and fi ltration processes.

ALDERLEA HERITAGE ESTATE & ADDITION, BRAMPTON

2010-Present I City of Brampton I $9 M CDN

In 2009, Taylor Hazell Architects were retained to

restore and adapt the property to so that it could

serve as a conference and wedding reception

venue.

The design exceeds LEED silver standards and

features geothermal heating and cooling, triple

glazing, radiant heat fl oor, natural ventilation, and

a 100% permeable landscape. Limestone, clay

brick, ornamental plaster and white oak are used

extensively in both the addition and the heritage

building.

Designed with an eye to low operational costs,

the site uses innovative and advanced information

technology, maximum fl exibility of programme

through a large span structural system to allow

for open space planning and events, sustainable

technologies and building systems that are easy

to operate, and durability of fi nishes with low

maintenance, to provide a contemporary addition

that will guarantee high value revenue generation for

private use.

The landscape is designed to enhance the estate

qualities associated with the property, while

emphasizing its importance as a cultural heritage

landscape. It integrates the programmatic role of

the site as a private venue, with options for tents and

occasions of a public nature as they use and enjoy

the site as an integrated part of Gage Park.

BUILDING ON HISTORY, EXHIBITION

The exhibition gave an opportunity to celebrate our

collaboration with a local Ontario supplier that developed a

new restoration clay brick for general commercial use and the

architectural project for extensive renovations to a Catholic

monastery in central Toronto.

“It is a core principle of this position that the recovery of

our communities, the design and planning sensibilities that

perpetuate these communities, begin with a conservation

ethic that seeks to protect these achievements.”

The installation explores forms for brick masonry and

compiles the various pursuits of design, construction and

convalescence in the service of reinforcing the threads of

history as we move forward.

2008 I Harbour Front Centre

NORTH ST. LAWRENCE MARKET COMPETITION

Taylor Hazell Architects submitted a design in cooperation

with Montgomery Sisam Architects and Denmark’s Gehl

Architects. The fi rms’ design was selected as one of the fi nal

fi ve submissions in the competition process.

Taylor Hazell Architects’ developed a contemporary

marketplace design with a scale and with materials

that refl ect the site’s historic attributes and represent a

contemporary and sustainable structure.

The design that emerged out of the competition is an

acknowledged new typology for marketplace design in

Toronto.

Taylor Hazell Architects interpreted the competition as a

regenerative tool for Toronto with respect to transportation,

community development and quality of life. The ideas

explored in the North St. Lawrence Market competition have

been used in subsequent projects and will continue to inform

the fi rm’s efforts to create sustainable cities and promote

quality of life for the communities that live within them.
