Modern four-story apartment building with balconies, white and dark panel exterior, located at 1933-1941 Rymal Road East, surrounded by wet pavement, cars, and trees under a cloudy sky.

This mid-rise building was designed to address the streetscape with a contemporary and simple approach on how the massing is articulated, creating a ply with “voids and solid”. Only two materials are being used to create this composition with different textures and contrasting colours.

The building is positioned close to the public sidewalk which is the preferred urban design guideline to prioritize pedestrian access and circulation. The parking area is at the rear where the secondary lobby for the residential units is located.
