Totem
Totem has been carefully conceived to integrate smoothly with the site’s current heritage structure, incorporating portions of the existing walls into the new design to create a multi-unit residential building.
The site currently houses an office building characteristic of early Modern architecture built in the fifties. Through a slight shift in the location of heritage elements retained on site, the development provided the opportunity to incorporate the TTC entrance into the building, allowing the public to enter directly through the current front doors, literally bringing the Heritage into the public realm.
Totem is neither of a tower-podium nor a mid-rise typology. We have proposed a compact point tower which rises from the heritage elements and breaking this down further into series of stacked boxes allows these to shift as they rise up to nestle the mass into the south west corner to reduce shadow and overlook issues, and visually reduce the scale of the building from Dundonald.
