Yeah, I couldn't find a recent picture taken after all of the new businesses moved in, but here is a rendering showing what that looks like:

The work of Halifax architect Brian MacKay-Lyons, who's work & ethos is featured in a new book, Local Architecture: Building Place, Craft, and Community.

‘Industrial-strength’ modernism gets some push-back

Special to The Globe and Mail

In 1994, Halifax architect and Dalhousie University professor Brian MacKay-Lyons, fed up with the theory-ridden architectural education then fashionable, stormed off with some first-year students to his farm on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia. There, the students and their teacher conducted a project-based studio that sought to restore hand-work to its premodern dignity and rejoin poetry and practicality. It was a protest against what Mr. MacKay-Lyons has called the “technocratic, unsynthesized fracturing of architecture into its isolated aspects.”

The architect did not abandon his post at Dalhousie forever. But from the polemical spirit of that initial session emerged the famous program known as Ghost Architecture Laboratory, which has gone through more than a dozen editions on Mr. MacKay-Lyons’s property. In these summer schools, pupils mingled with and worked alongside eminent practitioners who shared Mr. MacKay-Lyons’s conviction that the building art (in his words) “has always been about landscape, making and community.”

When planning the 13th (and, so far, last) Ghost Lab, scheduled for June, 2011, Mr. MacKay-Lyons decided to make it “a reunion of past guests, a group of exceptionally talented architects and historians/critics.” Some 200 designers, observers and fans came to the farm for three days of talks and festivities.

Homeowners keen on renovation are always thrilled to find the perfect designer, someone who readily understands how to realize their vision. But it is equally gratifying for professionals when they get a chance to work with the ideal client.

Such was the case when Susan Wilson and Donald Evans hired Mary Tremain and Andrea Mantin of Plant Architect Inc. to create outdoor spaces that would blend seamlessly with the renovation they had completed on their Markham Street home in Toronto.

I love how cities are returning to wood. Wood commercial buildings add a sense of real warmth to a building unlike steel and concrete which is both sterile and alienating.

Vancouver has being do this with many of it's community and educational buildings over the last 10 years with great results. They also used a lot of wood in the Millenium SkyTrain stations and look great and you don't have the sense of sitting in an open concrete bunker waiting for a train. They are both stylish and relaxing which is a real benefit when you are on your commute.

140 MONTROSE AVE.
Asking price: $1,395,000
Lot size: 20 feet by 113 feet.
Taxes: $4,406.74 (2014)
Agent: Duncan James Cameron, salesperson, Sage Real Estate Limited Brokerage

Most staircases don’t get the praise they deserve. And that’s because a good staircase blends right into a home.

It’s only the bad staircases that get noticed and when Geoffrey Moote and Duncan James Cameron purchased 140 Montrose Ave. it had a noticeably bad staircase.

Saskatoon Police Headquarters | CS&P Architects | 2014

Design inspired by its location in the downtown warehouse district.

Quote:
[....]

CS&P principal in charge Peter Ortved tells this reporter: “Police buildings are complex design challenges because they comprise so many functions.”

To put it mildly. Take the new Saskatoon Police Service headquarters – one of the most comprehensive municipal police facilities in the country – designed by CS&P in partnership with Saskatoon-based AODBT Architecture + Interior Design. Set on six acres in the historic warehouse district (redubbed the New North Downtown Area, with a mixed-use community in the works), the $122.1-million construction project consolidates, into 390,000 square feet of space, work previously done – by a staff of 650 – in 12 separate buildings across the city. It includes a state-of-the-art forensics lab, along with property and evidence storage (police-services staff are required to analyze and store all manner of exhibits, including DNA and digital hardware/software, for long periods of time). It includes an acoustically isolated indoor firing range, detention centre with over 50 holding cells, and underground fleet parking. It includes a canine-training facility, 911 call centre and polygraph suite. It also includes a parade room (for daily briefing), patrol-writing room, physical-training facility, staff lockers and fitness area, interview rooms and staff lounge.

Grotto by PARTISANS

PARTISANS have designed Grotto, a sauna located on San Souci Island, in the Georgian Bay area of Ontario, Canada.

Understanding the age-old rock, intimately, was the first step toward architecture. As a cascading granite cliff shaped by glaciers into a peninsula, the rock offered both new possibilities and an unobstructed view of the horizon. National Geographic has ranked the sunsets on this site as one of the best in the world. And we were determined to preserve and enhance the experience of it.

I love it. It has a great 1960's international style feel to it.
