For these three new townhomes, BuildSky partnered with the architect and builder to achieve a unified yet individualized look for each unit. The upper façades are clad in charcoal ACM panels, creating a sleek, contemporary volume that visually caps the buildings. Below, vertical wood-composite slats frame each window and entry nook, introducing texture and a natural tone. At street level, a red-brick veneer base connects the design to surrounding heritage homes, grounding the modern materials in neighborhood context. Beneath the entrance canopies, ACM soffit panels in charcoal provide a seamless transition and integrate recessed downlights for a welcoming glow at night.
Project Phases:
- Concept & 3D Renderings: Developed digital mock-ups to coordinate panel layouts, wood accents, and brick coursing, ensuring each unit felt individually distinct yet part of a cohesive trio.
- Material Procurement & Fabrication: Sourced premium ACM panels and custom wood-composite elements; precision-cut soffit pieces to exact dimensions via CNC.
- Installation: Deployed residential-focused crews to mount panels, wood slats, and brick veneer, maintaining tight tolerances and clean joints throughout the exterior.
Results:
- Contemporary Street Presence: A striking yet context-sensitive façade that enhances Gerrard St E’s residential fabric.
- Durability & Maintenance: Weather-resistant ACM and composite materials designed for Toronto’s seasonal climate.
- Harmonious Material Blend: Seamless integration of metal, wood, and brick for a balanced, modern aesthetic.
