Located at the crossroads of Vancouver’s downtown entertainment and business districts, 999 Seymour is a 22 storey, 11,600m2, mixed-use development comprised of retail at grade, office and amenity uses to the 7th level, with 15 storeys of market residential units above. A mid-rise streetwall podium is set back to allow enhancement of the public realm and reinforcement of the adjacent street edge. At 500m2, the residential tower floor plate is relatively small, which results in a slender, elegant form. The residential tower is distinguished from the retail and office components through differentiation and orientation of the uses toward different street frontages.
Further distinguishing the tower form is the inclusion of a framework of extensive, continuous balconies that are highly articulated to create a lively, dynamic urban wall. A vertical series of green- and blue-glazed translucent panels creates a sense of verticality, against which a series of movable, perforated aluminum screens animate an ever-changing facade of texture, pattern, shadow and light. To further energize the facade the vertical glazed panels are illuminated at night and light from the residential units within glows past and through the perforated screens.
The expansive, south-facing balconies create a buffered outdoor zone cradled between the movable screens, extensive glazing and sliding glass panels of the residential units. This interstitial outdoor activity area can be transformed to create varying degrees of openness or enclosure to suit the whims and desires of residents. Contrasting the open energized south facade is an artful closed composition to the north made up of three varying bronze-coloured anodized aluminum panels set amidst a series of narrow window openings.
