Toronto, Ontario
The Metropolitan Development strategy strengthens and maintains the historic nature of the heritage site while allowing for new construction and circulation within the property. The focus of the planting design gives preference to the new McGill Gardens in the forefront of the Metropolitan United Church. The presence of the new residential condominium building access drive and parking garage are minimized within the overall landscape scheme. Careful analysis of the existing conditions of the site and its context has led to a plan that minimizes the removal of trees preserves historic views and makes the site a community amenity by emphasizing a park like atmosphere.
