60 Richmond Street East is the first new housing co-operative to be built in Toronto in almost 20 years. This project sets an example for urban infill and for sustainability in residential construction. Located near a busy Toronto downtown intersection, this 11-storey LEED Gold building seeks to provide an alternative to the local ubiquitous glass tower condominium projects. The massing of the building is imagined as a solid street wall that is then carved into in order to create openings and terraces at various levels. These terraces become the social spaces of the building as well as gardens.
