The client asked for the maximum development potential on the site, which we determined by abiding by the City of Vaughan Zoning Bylaw (location of site). &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Phase 2 introduced a tenant: Acme Electronics, which we then created preliminary construction drawings for. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; The project concluded with Phase 3: a final drawing package with floors plans and construction details. Three types of curtain wall - glazed, precast concrete panel, and insulated metal stud- were required in addition to a reinforced concrete caisson foundation. Warehouse and two-storey office floor plans were designed with the needs and requirements of the business in mind.

The Farmers’ market would include a year-round enclosed&nbsp; market and seasonal outdoor market aimed to cater to the surrounding community- 20% of which is senior citizens. &nbsp; &nbsp; We selected the northwest corner of the ECC to place the Market, given it’s easy access to the road, preservation of original site, and proximity to the retirement home. &nbsp; &nbsp; Taking on the task of the enclosed market, I designed with accessibility and guest experience in mind. A clear grid floor plan allowed for easy circulation among vendors, with all administriation and kitchens on the second floor accessible via stairs or elevator. Ample seating on the ground floor, both indoor and outdoor, allows for visitors to relax while shopping amongst the 18 vendors. Large windows and a slanted second story roof give views to the outdoor market and surrounding buildings. Materials included brick, poured concrete, and wood. <img width="2854" height="1807" width_o="2854" height_o="1807" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/64d098d9cf5e44994acf9687f0cf2613dff9ae8635ffd70ff1314214ad5e29b0/Farmers-Market-update-2022.png" data-mid="215028395" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/64d098d9cf5e44994acf9687f0cf2613dff9ae8635ffd70ff1314214ad5e29b0/Farmers-Market-update-2022.png" /> <img width="779" height="844" width_o="779" height_o="844" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6a621fc1cf3e614c2ceb83887af37d0b7e4038db7c79887baa712a448b29fe94/Site-Legend.JPG" data-mid="76622017" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/779/i/6a621fc1cf3e614c2ceb83887af37d0b7e4038db7c79887baa712a448b29fe94/Site-Legend.JPG" /> &nbsp;

With over 8,000 residential units, 1.9 million square feet for employment, and 16,000 anticipated residents, Lakeview Village is aiming to be one of the most vibrant and innovative communities in Canada. &nbsp; &nbsp; Designed and built over the course of 6 months, this project built the entirety of Lakeview Village at a 1:350 scale, with over 100 stacked acrylic models drawn and cut by 3 designers and assembled by 6 model makers. The entire community model sat at 6 x 3.5 meters, with addressable RGB LED lights for the builidngs, roads, and parks.
