VENTURA

Competition Entry | Outdoor Marketplace Canopy

In collaboration with Sabrina Lee and Renee Fang

Situated near the Distillery District and other notable spaces in Downtown Toronto, this canopy is designed to be an extension of the historic space and a place that offers flexible small businesses to bring new life into the community. As both a day and night market, more added to the lower western, lower eastern, and higher southern facades to protect its users from sunrise glare and to limit summer sun. Accordingly, the more northern extrusions are also higher sunlight throughout the year. Natural ventilation was also taken into consideration, with larger north-western and south-eastern facades and smaller openings to allow for cross-ventilation. To further establish its connection to the distillery district, a southern opening was established as well.
