St. John's McNicoll Centre
Toronto, Canada | 2004- Ongoing
Master Planning, Senior Residential
This urban intensification project, to be built on the under-utilised parking lot of a long-term care centre, consists of a church, medical offices, commercial space, a community centre, and two senior housing buildings with a combined total of 578 units.
The worship space of the church and chapel forms the focal point of the development but the client's vision extends beyond this single component to encompass a continuum of care for the residents and for members of the congregation that addresses their needs beyond those of the spiritual realm. The integration of program elements such as personal services, small retail and restaurants, as well as a community centre and gymnasium, enables this community to flourish.
The incorporation of extensive landscape amenities with the carefully oriented building program elements will promote a healthy and active lifestyle for community centre users, church congregants, and senior residents alike.
