Canada Hotel redevelopment
596, Swanston Street, Carlton, Australia
The Canada Hotel redevelopment is a student accommodation project that
provides 219 one bedroom apartments on the site of the historic Canada Hotel. A
new 13 level tower stands over the reinvigorated hotel, its distinctive form
and language acknowledging the historic building as ancestor.
The architectural dialogue between the historic hotel and the new tower
is explicit and publicly engaging: insertion of the tower’s window motif into
the hotel’s former openings provides a literal depiction of the hotel’s
reinvention.
The student accommodation typology is often criticised for the isolation
it elicits and the Canada project is notable for the spaces it provides for
interaction, both planned and organic. The laundry is cast as the social heart
of the building while a lecture theatre allows for informal gatherings,
performance and film events.
The project continues the evolution of the Pelham Precinct with a robust
architectural language that relates to neighbouring projects. Comment on the
diverse local context is found in a Liquorice Allsorts motif that is introduced
externally as coloured balcony reveals and continued throughout the interior.
