Studio starts construction in an Artful way!
By on Apr 16, 2012
Award-winning Studio on Richmond has been so phenomenally successful that the excavation/building process is now underway.
Located in Toronto’s hot Entertainment District, this condominium community will feature 8,000 square feet available to OCADU for use as a public art gallery and restaurant. To celebrate this intimate connection to the arts, Aspen Ridge recently marked the onset of construction in an exciting and innovative way. A blank canvas was suspended between a mound of earth and the bucket of a backhoe. Representatives from Aspen Ridge, along with Lisa Deanne Smith, assistant curator at OCADU, splashed paint onto the canvas in vibrant colours. The fascinating result was taken back to OCADU to be worked on by some of Smith’s students, and the finished piece will be installed in the amenities of Studio when the building is complete.
Toronto’s hottest residential destination in the heart of the Entertainment District, Studio has been joined by Studio2, the second fabulous phase in this inviting community. Referred to as Toronto’s New Yorkville, this location is steps from amazing amenities including Lake Ontario and a multitude of shops and stores, restaurants, lounges, galleries, museums, entertainment venues, subway stations and more.
Renowned for developing and building residential communities that make a statement, Aspen Ridge enlisted Quadrangle Architects to create a striking exterior for Studio. Adding a shot of modernism in this heritage warehouse neighbourhood, the condominium is comprised of stacked rhombus-shaped forms with a green roof. Among the amenities are a nightclub-style bar, stylish party room, and dining room with kitchen servery, media room, billiards room, lounge, terrace with barbecue, winter lounge, yoga room, cardio room, and weights room with floor-to-ceiling mirrors and massive windows. Suite appointments include kitchens with Miele appliances, choice of granite or CaesarStone countertops, ceramic backsplash and Hansgrohe faucets; choice of Torlys® engineered wood floor or Torlys Smart Floor; 9’ ceilings; and a balcony or terrace (as per plan).
