MULTIPLE RESIDENTIAL - APARTMENT BUILDING
THE CUMBERLAND GAGE; Hamilton,
Ontario, Canada:
|
ORIGINAL CONCEPT PERSPECTIVE |
|
This 152 unit, 8 storey building is located on a 2 acre (0.8 ha) site within
easy walking distance of a major city park. There are 155 underground parking
spaces which fill the entire site. Because of the railway line adjacent to the
south, noise and vibration control measures were utilized. Construction was
fast tracked and completed in 12 months.
|
|
Before construction could begin the land had to go through a $1.5 million
site decontamination.
The residents are a mix of market value, shallow core need and deep core need
tenants. Because of this the amount of internal amenity space is approximately
four times the norm. The overall building mass was broken up into smaller
elements to reduce the visual impact.
