The Spiral

Residential Multi Storey

2023

This project poses the question of how a twin residential high-rise program can act as a platform for an active interaction between the residents similar to a small community project. Thus by designing a smaller 10 storey block with stepped balconies and an active roof that meets the intended qualities of interactive, stacking the block four times to reach the unit requirements, the Habitat Stacked becomes a 40 storey twin residential tower with the qualities of a small project. The Habitat stacked is situated in Toronto, Canada- a country heavily framed in zoning by laws and codes for residential buildings that typically constrain architects to facade-only designs due to predefined building shapes. This project’s program required two towers that had the opportunity to break free from only a facade design and have an interactive form and program between the two tower and away from the property line.
