Name a more sustainable gesture than converting an empty, existing building into something useful - we'll wait. This massive undertaking provides much-needed housing units while also bringing life back to downtown.
The Slayte
Ottawa
Built in 1970, this 11 story, post-modernist building in downtown Ottawa had been sitting vacant for years. Our developer client, CLV Group, had the vision to convert the office building to a residential complex.
This gem boasts iconic precast concrete panels that give the exterior "skin" a unique character. It also has spectacular rooftop views and a hidden courtyard.
Design Insight - The Big Repurposing
A portion of the second floor was demolished to make room for an expansive and airy lobby lounge.
The multi-pupose rooftop terrace includes fire pits, a hot tub and pergola for outdoor entertaining.
“It's great to be working with Linebox and other talented consultants on this development! Vision, creativity, teamwork, solutions, diligence and execution...a successful recipe!”
Oz Drewniak - President at CLV Group Development Inc.
Design Insight - Exterior "Skin"
To update the appearance of the exterior "skin", 96 of the 480 precast concrete panels were replaced with metal versions.
