The design for the four-storey commercial redevelopment at 111 Yorkville Avenue is rooted in the duality between old and new. In the late 1980s, the existing Victorian house structure underwent several functional and design alterations, distorting it from its original character. Our team proposed a contemporary interpretation of the building that allowed retail functions to be accommodated behind a Victorian-inspired façade that opens up to the public realm network and revives the heritage and cultural value within the Yorkville Village neighbourhood.
