Project Description: The Strathairn a multi family residential apartment building conveniently located in close proximity to Kingston’s main commercial and business districts. The building consists of 32 apartments 16 Super Studios and 16 One-bedroom units each expandable with a simple partition. Allowing the development to achieve maximum density on the site. Distributed over six floors with the ground floor being dedicated to parking, allowing all apartments to achieve more privacy and views not restricted to its own lot. The sixth floor roof level has been dedicated to provide common partially covered entertainment patios, an enclosed lounge, a gymnasium, an office and restrooms facilities for the apartment. The building is equipped with all the modern facilities such as an elevator and a garbage shoot. The Strathairn’s contemporary and efficient design is a great example of how maximum density can be achieved without the elimination of all the necessary amenities. The building is of post and bean construction, with steel deck and trusses forming the floor slabs. All exterior and dividing walls are of block and steel construction. The floor plans are open allowing the owners to utilize the space, as they like. Each apartment has been provided with private balconies strengthening the independence of each unit while offering horizontal features to its exterior elevation, expressed as a contemporary structure within its landscape.

Project Description: The Winchester multifamily residential complex had been designed to place greater emphasis on the individual homeowner and their needs. The development had been divided into five blocks eliminating the need for long communal corridors. The multiple entries improved the individuality of each block increasing the intimacy at each level, with only four neighbors per floor, granting a greater level of privacy for each unit. The unit layouts each with a personal veranda, offers the widest possibility of maximizing the cross ventilation for each unit. The units were further personalized with each unit having their own utilities and laundry closest, a feature not common in multi-family complexes with the market. Eliminating the need for elevators, the restriction of three flights of stairs to the furthest unit was employed, with the fourth level only being accessed internally providing these units a further opportunity of personalization. Ground floor units were also personalized with their own garden enclosure. The articulation of building facades further supported the concept with different architectural features being emphasized at each level. It was then easy to identify one’s home within the community.
