Maple House models the transition from post-industrial wasteland to vibrant mixed-income community, creating a transformed—but not gentrified—new downtown community within the West Don Lands (WDL), an 80-hectare brownfield on Toronto’s industrial waterfront.
The City’s population is projected to grow by more than 48% between 2022 and 2046, and Maple House addresses the pressing need for high-quality rental housing for all income levels. Thirty percent of the 770 units meet the municipal definition of affordability, affordable units are distributed throughout the West, Central and East buildings, and community services and amenities are accessible to all residents.
The architects’ approach is respectful of heritage, environmentally responsible, and socially aware. Maple House is ringed by several WDL neighbourhoods, each with its own unique character and materiality: the brick warehouses of the Distillery District, the glass and steel Canary District, the Olmsteadian Corktown Commons, and vestiges of industry where the Don River meets Lake Ontario. The architects drew heavily on this context, their bricolage of the area’s diverse typologies resolving into a layered, tripartite massing defined by a robust, low-slung Base layer, stacked with finely detailed Podiums, and topped with sculpted Towers that identify the new neighbourhood on the skyline.
Maple House’s milieu distills Toronto’s most attractive features: vibrant street life, wild ravines, picturesque vestiges of 19th-century industry, and intimate Victorian side streets. To capture this genius loci, the architects buried parking and services below grade, allowing a fine-grained fabric of streets, walkways, plazas, and community amenities to blanket the site. Interweaving public and private space, private townhouse yards open onto tree-lined semiprivate mews between buildings and onto vibrant public boulevards along Mill Street and Tank House Lane.
Maple House is designed to meet LEED Gold, with energy cost savings of 26-30% over NECB 2011 and performance 29% better than NECB 2015.
