Our recent project with Oleson Worland Architects and The Architect Builders Collaborative at the Toronto Centre for Social Innovation has been featured in the Globe and Mail – a new ramp at 192 Spadina Avenue that uses reclaimed wood with “the challenge of creating something large, utilitarian, to code, and, most importantly, beautiful.”
The Globe and Mail writes:
“At Toronto’s Centre for Social Innovation – part incubator, part lab, part co-working space, part tenanted office building, and all in for reshaping the world to become a better place – one such project exists. Here, at 192 Spadina Ave., how people enter and first experience the six-storey, 1920 brick-and-beam beauty has been radically changed, but a first-time visitor might not blink an eye.”
The wood for the ramp, sourced from old Toronto buildings taken down in the late-1990s and early-2000s “creates multiple platforms for laptop-typers or cellphone talkers – without interfering with wheelchairs wheeling their way safely down. [It] also create a new area where someone might address a crowd.”
