Description
Design the transforms a former church site into a mixed-use community hub, retaining the worship program within an accessible amenity level highlighted by an illuminated Cross. Above, sculpted residential forms and elevated terraces frame an active civic plaza with retail and community spaces. By aligning with city policy and partnering with local groups, the development increases land value while maintaining strong social benefit—creating a contemporary urban village where faith, community, and modern living come together.
Church Integration Supporting Policy + CAC Strategy
The project retains the church program within a modern amenity podium, preserving its cultural role while meeting city policy and CAC requirements. The illuminated Cross becomes an architectural feature that maintains site identity and visibility.
Active Civic Plaza Framed by Fluid Podium Architecture
A large public plaza anchors the ground level, surrounded by curved podium terraces, transparent retail frontage, and elevated walkways. This creates a vibrant community space that supports gathering, circulation, and everyday urban activity.
Residential Towers Enhancing Value and Social Benefit
Sculpted residential towers rise above the podium, increasing development value while collaborating with local amenity groups to deliver social benefits and align with municipal expectations for community contribution.
