Aryze Developments put together this conception to convey that an architectural visioning exercise should be as bold as the impact of retaining this important landmark building.
The design reflects the heritage building as the centrepiece for the re-development.
In this way it fulfills the need to reimagine a new life for Bank Street School.
The vision is both deferential and bold. The new surrounds the old and provides a neutral/mirrored backdrop for the former school building, placing it within a calm grassy circular park.
New buildings contain a variety of community uses to provide a vision for the next 100 years, including injection of life into the vacant heritage building.
Aryze believes that every neighbourhood should have diverse housing types and tenures for all incomes and demographics. A densified, compact, walkable lifestyle is critical to solving our climate and housing crisis all while creating more livable and healthier communities.
