The site presented an opportunity to use proportion, scale and materiality to create a building that sits comfortably within an historic streetscape, while defining a modern architectural language that sets a precedent for future development in a new downtown neighbourhood. To create a narrow office floorplate with access to daylight and views, the top floor was divided into two halves and stacked at the north end of the site. This move creates a strong urban edge at the intersection and establishes a visual proportion, scale, and relationship tothe street that directly references the character and feel of the adjacent historic warehouses.

The idea of giving a building soul to turn it into a fantasy is mirrored in the footprint. The basis for Otter is Hermione Granger’s patronus from the fantasy novel Harry Potter. The Otter is abstracted and separated into three parts: the head, body, and tail. The abstract form is afterwards horizontally flipped and the surface is made continuous.
