"The most successful new developments, however, are those that build upon-rather than erase-existing architecture. Take the newly opened Nobu Residences and Hotel, a Teeple Architects-designed complex that fully incorporates the iconic façade of the Pilkington Glass building that long stood in its place."
"Its defining feature: glass bricks. Preserved as the skin of the original structure, these elements reappear throughout the multipronged, city-within-a-city destination. Rising from this foundation are two 45-story towers with angled window bays and gently sculpted façade fins."
"Responsible for the comprehensive outfitting of these spaces is Miami- and Toronto-based multidisciplinary practice Studio Munge, a firm that prides itself on crafting immersive experiences. 'The dramatic opening between the 9th and 10th floors allows daylight to cascade deep into the interior spaces below,' says founding principal Alessandro Munge."
Toronto is experiencing significant growth, becoming the fourth-largest city in North America with rising real estate prices. The downtown area features a mix of modern architectural designs alongside historic buildings. Successful developments, like the Nobu Residences and Hotel, incorporate existing structures, such as the Pilkington Glass building. This complex includes two 45-story towers, a Nobu restaurant, and 660 residential units, designed by Studio Munge to create immersive experiences with natural light and unique spaces.
