1795 Montreal Rd | 11m | 2f | U/C

[rocketphish]

The Subject Property at 1795 Montreal Road is proposed to be developed to accommodate a two-storey office building and a one-storey multi-purpose accessory building. The office building will have a gross floor area of 611 m2, and the accessory building will have a gross floor area of 849m2. Given the building setback requirements from the power lines along the front of the property, the office building and accessory building must be set back from the front property line. A 6.7-metre wide driveway off of Montreal Road is proposed to provide access to surface parking and loading spaces on the Subject Property. Sixteen surface parking spaces are proposed on the site. Eight parking spaces are located between the office building and multi-purpose accessory building. The remaining eight parking spaces are located north of the office building. Three loading spaces are located within the accessory use building.

The proposed buildings are designed for a company that specializes in the repair and refurbishment of household furniture and furnishings after fire and flood hazards. A multi-purpose accessory building is required in support of the office building. This building will accommodate three loading spaces, a show room for display purposes, closed-in storage bays, staff locker rooms, and a cleaning room, with the remaining area uses as flexible work space.

There's an excavator here now, and it appears that site preparation has just begun.

Red Team Headquarters
Ottawa, Ontario

This project encompasses two mid-size buildings on one site – a 2-storey office building as well as a single storey storage facility. The overall site design places the more public, dynamic, and open areas towards the street, while hiding the parking and facility services.

Although the structures stretch across the majority of the site, the design strategy minimizes the overall impact the buildings on neighbouring properties. Taking advantage of the inherent slope on the property, the overall massing concept centers around the design of a landscape oriented form. The proportion of these forms, as well as their material design highlights the office building while allowing the storage facility to blend into the landscape.

The two buildings, with their sloped surfaces, create a formal landscape that frame the property. Although the forms are prominent, the use of natural materials works to retain a softness and connection to the surrounding natural context. Wood, metal, and concrete work together to ground the design.

The dynamic forms extend into the interior of the office building where a double height lobby space and feature stair connects the two levels. In addition, a high priority has been placed on common staff facilities such as an open lounge space, a large kitchen, as well as an outdoor terrace. This all results in an open and community oriented work environment.

This project is in the development stages

Estimated square footage: 17,000 sq.ft.

Looks great!

This hasn't been built yet, and it's already for lease. I guess the intended occupant isn't going to move in as planned.
