Conservation principles have guided the staged restoration
program for the intricate masonry envelope including the
research and development for the use of a proprietary pre-
cast ‘roman stone’. The design of this stone responded to
the original mix and modernized its manufacture aligning
it with contemporary standards while preserving its most
signifi cant properties.
CASA LOMA
1994 – 2009 I City of Toronto, Cultural Assets I $16.25M CDN
The building is a laboratory for the understanding of
masonry construction principles. The goal of re-establishing
equilibrium of distressed masonry assemblies informs every
decision and choice of restoration methods. Toronto’s climate
is varied and demanding and exacts a heavy toll on building
elements. Correspondingly, detailing of traditional materials,
such as lead sheet, is unapologetic and robust.
LAKESHORE CAMPUS WEST LIBRARY, TORONTO
2003 – 2005 I Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning I $5.45 M CDN
The introduction of a long sloping glass wall across the
original building plan reorganized the entire space, resolving
geometries and generated a series of events and spaces
that re-energized the library program. This gesture coalesces
the reinterpretation of light within the library: an enigmatic
arrangement of globes; a side lit clerestory lantern; borrowed
light and views from the rest of the building.
The interior re-structuring expresses itself coyly as a set of
new apertures that are clearly legible within the fabric of the
original 1970’s brick building.
The design aesthetic of the Library expresses Humber’s
ambitions as a progressive, forward-thinking institution, open
to re-interpreting itself for future students and staff.
URBAN ECOLOGY CENTRE, TORONTO
2007 I Humber Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning I $3.5 M CDN
The Centre for Urban Ecology is an
outpost in a garden distant from other
suburban educational buildings: a place of
contemplation and study for ideas relating
to the advancement of technology in the
service of the natural world.
Viewed from the garden it transcends its
setting. Upon arrival, it is transformed into
a lens from which the complexities of the
urban landscape are revealed through
instruction and interaction. The teaching
program now uses the building’s innovative
systems as a demonstration of what can be
achieved through intelligent use of building
technologies.

R.C. HARRIS WATER TREATMENT PLANT, THE BEACHES TORONTO
1997 – 2009 I Toronto Water, City of Toronto I $25 M CDN
This designated heritage site was built in
the 1930’s and still produces over 45%
of the drinking water for Toronto and
its burgeoning region. It is a stunning
example of forward thinking and its
supreme utility is matched only by the
sensuous restraint of its Art Deco masonry
detailing.
These infrastructure projects are important
civic utilities and cultural markers. In
this case, the necessity of updating
the existing technologies has been
matched by a corresponding initiative to
conserve and restore the building fabric,
re-establishing the equilibrium between
envelope and fi ltration processes.
ALDERLEA HERITAGE ESTATE & ADDITION, BRAMPTON
2010-Present I City of Brampton I $9 M CDN
In 2009, Taylor Hazell Architects were retained to
restore and adapt the property to so that it could
serve as a conference and wedding reception
venue.
The design exceeds LEED silver standards and
features geothermal heating and cooling, triple
glazing, radiant heat fl oor, natural ventilation, and
a 100% permeable landscape. Limestone, clay
brick, ornamental plaster and white oak are used
extensively in both the addition and the heritage
building.
Designed with an eye to low operational costs,
the site uses innovative and advanced information
technology, maximum fl exibility of programme
through a large span structural system to allow
for open space planning and events, sustainable
technologies and building systems that are easy
to operate, and durability of fi nishes with low
maintenance, to provide a contemporary addition
that will guarantee high value revenue generation for
private use.
The landscape is designed to enhance the estate
qualities associated with the property, while
emphasizing its importance as a cultural heritage
landscape. It integrates the programmatic role of
the site as a private venue, with options for tents and
occasions of a public nature as they use and enjoy
the site as an integrated part of Gage Park.
BUILDING ON HISTORY, EXHIBITION
The exhibition gave an opportunity to celebrate our
collaboration with a local Ontario supplier that developed a
new restoration clay brick for general commercial use and the
architectural project for extensive renovations to a Catholic
monastery in central Toronto.
“It is a core principle of this position that the recovery of
our communities, the design and planning sensibilities that
perpetuate these communities, begin with a conservation
ethic that seeks to protect these achievements.”
The installation explores forms for brick masonry and
compiles the various pursuits of design, construction and
convalescence in the service of reinforcing the threads of
history as we move forward.
2008 I Harbour Front Centre
NORTH ST. LAWRENCE MARKET COMPETITION
Taylor Hazell Architects submitted a design in cooperation
with Montgomery Sisam Architects and Denmark’s Gehl
Architects. The fi rms’ design was selected as one of the fi nal
fi ve submissions in the competition process.
Taylor Hazell Architects’ developed a contemporary
marketplace design with a scale and with materials
that refl ect the site’s historic attributes and represent a
contemporary and sustainable structure.
The design that emerged out of the competition is an
acknowledged new typology for marketplace design in
Toronto.
Taylor Hazell Architects interpreted the competition as a
regenerative tool for Toronto with respect to transportation,
community development and quality of life. The ideas
explored in the North St. Lawrence Market competition have
been used in subsequent projects and will continue to inform
the fi rm’s efforts to create sustainable cities and promote
quality of life for the communities that live within them.
