The design consists of two oval shaped towers, 25m apart, at varying heights of 29 and 24 storeys. The tallest tower is on Yonge Street, and the shorter, on Carville Avenue. A six storey podium connects the two towers at the base, the roof of which also serves as a green roof and outdoor amenity space. The oval shapes were chosen to provide the development with these specific advantages:
a. Panoramic views for most units
b. Reduction of impacts from wind
c. The possibility to create iconic architecture at what is considered a major city intersection
d. Reduction of the impact of straight and perpendicular views from one building to another
e. The capability of this shape to increase the facing distance between the two towers as an oval has a smaller dimension in one direction.
f. Allows for varying unit types, and varying curves in different units
The intention was to increase the floor plate without reducing the distance between the towers. Hence, in each tower, two cylinders were merged partly together. Each is distinguished with a different tone of glazing. At the same time, a few floors, at varying levels, of each cylinder was taken out to accentuate the merging of the two volumes, while at the same time creating a new architectural feature.
