This transit-oriented development, featuring elegant, simple forms with clean contemporary lines, aims to enhance the urban fabric and skyline of Surrey. The proposal defines the future urban fabric and public realm of the block with active retail facing 107A Street, complemented by corner plazas and building entries.
The towers, with their height and simple massing, have elegant proportions and engage in a dialogue within a strong frame expression and elegant sculptural top. The patterning of the balcony railings provides individuality, allowing each elevation to respond to its solar and view orientation and reinforce its verticality. A cap element punctuates the composition of each tower and screens the rooftop. The podium massing buffers the site from SkyTrain noise and provides natural surveillance to the south. The podium features retail on 107A Avenue, enhancing pedestrian activation adjacent to the public park space. Corner plazas are associated with each residential lobby at the external corners of the site, facing University/107A and City Parkway/107A, respectively. Retail activation is established along the 107A frontage, with townhomes providing streetscape activation to all other pedestrian frontages.
