The Eden

Champlain Street, NW facade facing north. Here, the intersection of the street planes is visible: the brick mass is a continuation of the Champlain Street geometry from the north, while the rowhouses meet the green metal plane, oriented to the established city grid. Expressive of Champlain Street, NW’s residual rowhouse DNA proportions, a green-colored metal paneled projecting plane slices through the masonry street facade and steps back from the street to form a lively roof plane to the sky. The Eden’s entrance provides a secure threshold between the street and interior courtyard. A light-filled entry breezeway connects the street entrance to ground-floor unit access, interior courtyard, and elevator lobby. A lush interior courtyard offers a garden refuge for residents to retreat from the city, while maximizing exterior exposures and views for the residential units.
