Streets are the arteries of our cities. Pedestrians flow; animation and street-level retail is the energy that flows through. Our approach for a commercial re-development downtown Toronto questions what street retail in twenty-first century is, more specifically, in dense, mixed-use urban neighbourhoods. Acting on the public realm by adding public spaces to the city, the proposal merges civic and commercial life. Taking cues from the neighbourhood’s fabric and history, a diagonal mews cuts through the site.
