Block 24E combines residential building forms of different heights with street-related retail bases to activate the southern portion of Spadina Avenue, one of Toronto's most important north-south arterials.

The design is composed of three distinct elements: NEO, a north-south loft building, a light Pavilion with restaurant, retail and recreational amenities on Bremner Blvd, and Montage, a 40-storey point tower on the north-west corner of the parcel. Using glass and metal on the upper storeys to mitigate the impact of their mass on the street, while stone, wood and other tactile materials establish an inviting, pedestrian-scale experience at street level.

The Montage tower is set back to have the least impact on the street. Its larger face is oriented to maximize optimal views to the Lake Ontario and city.

The units in the NEO building are modernist yet cost-effective designs which feature sliding glass doors, natural materials and flexible, and highly functional plans. A major grocery store will provide a much-needed source of fresh produce and attract residents from the surrounding neighbourhoods and towers.

The design of Block 24E demonstrates that contemporary residential developments can be cost effective, distinctive in design, and have a broad and positive urban impact.

24E大廈把不同高度的住宅樓與臨街零售店結合起來，為多倫多最重要的南北干道之一的斯帕迪納大道的南端增添了活力。

建筑的設計由3個獨立的部分組成：1棟南北向的高層建筑，NEO公寓樓；1棟位于布雷姆納大道的低層建筑，集餐廳、零售店和娛樂設施于一體；還有在西北角的40層高的蒙太奇大廈。較高的樓層采用玻璃和金屬外觀，減輕對大街的影響，而街道層所采用的石頭、木材等觸覺系材料，給行人一種盛情邀請的感覺。

為避免影響到街道，蒙太奇大廈往里縮進，其最大的立面朝向安大略湖和市區，以獲得最佳視野。

NEO公寓樓內的單元使用滑動玻璃門、天然材料以及靈活、高性能的平面安排，頗顯現代化和高性價比。主零售店提供生活所需的新鮮食材，吸引了大批周邊的社區居民。

24E大廈的設計證明當代住宅的發展可以同時兼具高性價比和特色設計，并能對城市產生巨大、積極的影響。

FEATURE 特點分析

Fa?ade

A continuous abstract element defines the profiles of both horizontal surface and vertical planes and unifies the ensemble. The overall expression of the buildings is light and contemporary. The design was conceived in the spirit of iconic towers that distinguish major international cities, emphasizing simplicity and proportion to create a bold statement for City Place on Toronto's skyline.

立面

連續的抽象元素界定出建筑垂直表皮和水平表面的外形，使整體統一而協調，輕盈且具有現代感。設計目的是將其打造成地標建筑，以突出國際大都市的特征，強調簡單和比例，在多倫多天際線創造一個張揚的城市廣場。
