ArtWalk District Phase 1

As part of the emerging SmartVMC community in the City of Vaughan, HPA is leading both the architecture and interiors for phase 1 of the ArtWalk District. The development will bring four buildings to the site: a 38-storey and an 18-storey residential tower sitting upon a 3-storey podium, a 4-storey mixed-use building, and a 6-storey building which is expected to have a co-working space as well as a café which will be embraced by the courtyard filling up the centre of the four buildings. With an anticipated total of 627 residential units on the site, the design aims to bring a diversity of demographics to the area, with varying suite sizes and public amenities to accommodate everybody. It will visually integrate calm, neutral materials and colours to create a sense of welcoming and place. Residents of the site will have access to a single-level parking garage, landscaped garden terraces with barbecues and lounges, children’s playgrounds, and an inviting outdoor movie area.
