公园里的“迷宫”

在多伦多Bloor和Lansdowne地区的一条安静的街道上，这个开发项目一开始就有相当大的缺陷：一个棕地，直接在一条活跃的铁路线旁边，在一个工业附近，非住宅区划。然而，开发商也发现了几项资产，使其具有吸引力，并充满了高住宅和商业价值的潜力：该地块开辟了一个公共公园和一个带有跑道的高中运动场，东面是一个住宅区。此外，它距离TTC地铁站、超市、每周一次的农贸市场和Bloordale的新潮餐厅、酒吧和艺术画廊都很近。

On a quiet street in Toronto’s Bloor and Lansdowne area, this development began marked by considerable drawbacks: a brownfield site, directly beside an active railway line, in an industrial vicinity, with non-residential zoning. However, the developers also identified several assets that made it attractive and full of potential for high residential and commercial value: the site opens to a public park and a high school playing field with a running track, and to the east it faces a residential neighbourhood. In addition, it is within walking distance of a TTC subway station, a supermarket, a weekly farmer’s market and Bloordale’s hip new restaurants, bars and art galleries.

在对该地块进行彻底整治后，BDP四合院对这一不寻常的环境做出了回应，采用了三部分的设计策略，使建筑的规模、体量和衔接成功地融入到周围的城市结构中。S形的建筑与朝向工业板块的九层塔楼将减轻其对现有住宅邻居的影响。S形的设计邀请邻近的公园以内部庭院的形式渗透到场地中，并提供了一条贯穿建筑的公共道路，使项目充满活力，并扩大了场地范围以外的联系。由预加工金属板建造的方格图案外墙，将使建筑看起来像更精细、更小的组件，从而不会对其较小的邻居造成影响。大胆、现代的表达方式与Bloordale原始的艺术精神不谋而合。覆层的牢固性和墙：窗的比例，将确保比典型的多伦多建筑存量更好的建筑围护结构。

Following the complete remediation of the site, BDP Quadrangle responded to this unusual setting with a three-part design-strategy so that the building’s scale, massing, and articulation will successfully integrate the building into the surrounding urban fabric. A building in the form of an S with a nine-story kinked tower toward the industrial boarders will mitigate its impact on the existing residential neighbours. The S-shaped design invites the adjacent park to infiltrate the site in the form of an internal courtyard and provides a public right-of-way through the building, enlivening the project and broadening connections beyond the confines of the site. A chevron-patterned façade, constructed from pre-finished metal panels, will make the building appear as finer, smaller components so that it will not impose on its smaller neighbours. The bold, contemporary expression is in keeping with Bloordale’s raw, artistic spirit. The solidity of the cladding and wall:window ration , will ensure a better building envelope than typical Toronto building stock.

该建筑结合了一、二、三层的阁楼式单位和20,000平方英尺的商业/办公空间。两间或更多卧室单位的高度混合将导致大量的家庭在建筑中，这与商业部分相结合，将使Enigma成为一个充满活力的中心。

The building combines one, two and three storey loft-style units with 20,000 ft² of commercial/office space. The high mix of two or more bedroom units will lead to a high number of families in the building, and this, combined with the commercial component, will make Enigma a dynamic hub.

创建一个经过深思熟虑设计的，集住宅和就业于一体的多功能建筑，将为这个正在经历后工业化变革的地区提供一个积极的示范性建筑，并成为多功能社区的建立大胆的证明。

Creating a thoughtfully designed, mixed-use building with both residences and employment will provide a positive and exemplary anchor to this area that is undergoing post-industrial change, and it  establishes bold proof of the benefits of mixed-use communities.
