Within the midst of chaos, every individual needs moments of self reflection to satisfy spiritual need. Fast paced lifestyle, not only leads us to ignore ourselves but also our surroundings. An architecture should evoke a sense of solitude and introspection. University Avenue, a ceremonial thoroughfare that situated in downtown Toronto, is such an ideal place to create a contemplative and reflective space.
