City of Toronto - 2009 Toronto Urban Design Awards Submission: Composed of modern glass with pre-cast concrete elements, EQ1 and EQ2 at the successful Equinox condominium community form a sleek landmark that is well integrated in the Scarborough City Centre. Fronting onto Albert Campbell Square, these two towers join the first two phases, Equinox I and II, to complement this vibrant location, which encompasses a critical traffic node for the City of Toronto. Residents live steps from the Town Centre and SRT, which promote the use of public transportation through immediate access to the Kennedy subway station.
The buildings feature a wraparound podium with grade-related retail that face the park and frame the pedestrian realm of the square. An expanded walkway under the arcade enhances the use of this area, creates a sense of place and security, and provides an “eyes on the square” atmosphere that encourage pedestrian and activity use. The varying height of the towers complement the city’s skyline, and add an exciting dimension to the area’s residential appeal.
Source - 2010 Pug Awards Nomination: EQ1 at Equinox joins the successful first two phases, Equinox I and II, in the heart of Scarborough Town Centre. Fronting onto Albert Campbell Square, EQ1 makes a unique architectural statement on Scarborough’s skyline. The Tower rises to 35 storeys and rests on an 8 storey podium. The proposal uses the horizontal nature of the podium to anchor the verticality of the tower and this relationship is further emphasized through the use of horizontal precast elements together with vertical expanses of glazing. The podium presents a mix of residential and amenity spaces while also integrating a 2 storey pedestrian arcade which serves grade-related retail. The podium provides a backdrop to the public park expansion across the site and frames the pedestrian realm of the square. The arcade also serves as a covered pedestrian thoroughfare which connects Town Centre Court and the Scarborough Civic Centre while providing the catalyst for programmatic integration onto the public square.
