Hamilton Square South will be a new 12 storey mixed-use residential / retail building. The program required that the building embrace the elements of a walkable community, maximising easy access to transit, schools, community park, businesses and culture/arts amenities. The design established a 3-storey base for the building aligning with the traditional height of the brownstone row homes and base of Hamilton Square North. The base is broken down into brick and glass elements, with the first floor recessed under the brick form above, designed to support retail businesses.
