A new layer laid upon the grid of a sturdy building. A bold splash of colour is added to a signature street. A singular identity is given to the address of 80 Bloor.

chroma

optical mixingThere are two sizes of sun shaders, one thin and one large. The sun shaders come in a limited colour palette of red, yellow, orange, blue and white. The close proximity and placement of the shaders create an array of colours, which from afar creates the impression of new colours. The shadows cast by the sun shaders actively provide tonality to contrast the myriad of colours.

The proposed changes to the facade include:a. update of the building envelope to a high efficiency glazing system.b. the addition of a solar shading system that acts simultaneously to: i) improve user comfort, ii) improve building performance and reduce energy loads, andiii) through the use of colour variation, to refashion a creative identity for 80 Bloor.

texture & rhythmTexture is achieved through the layering of the three vertical bays, the Miesian grid, horizontal threads of colour, and vertical light slots.

The vertical slots are reliefs in the density of the colour fabric. These are created through the vertical grouping of thin colour bars within the greater density.

SKIN DEEPOne layer becomes two: the single-pane glass facade of 80 Bloor is re-en-visioned as a double facade consisting of an updated curtain wall and perfo-rated metal skin. This deeper facade im-proves the building’s performance while creating an iconic new look from both inside and out.

The perforated aluminum skin fulfills both functional and ornamental roles. Functionally, the skin shades the build-ing, reducing summer heat gain, while framing views from inside. The louvered scaffold that supports the aluminum panels deepens with height, providing more shade for the sunnier upper floors. The metal skin also becomes more po-rous with height, acknowledging the improved views and the decreasing need for privacy. The pattern’s density fluctuates from floor to floor in order to accommodate the variety of lighting conditions desired by different occupa-tions, especially within the design field (a brighter floor would appeal to a design company, while a video game company requires low light levels).

The retail floors at the base of the build-ing are nearly opaque, focussing views inwards. This provides the opportunity to incorporate the building’s identity -- the 80 of 80 Bloor -- into the perforated pattern of the facade, and to highlight the shop entrances and displays.

Significantly, this variety of conditions and complexity of pattern arise from a very simple system of cutting rectangles from aluminum panels. Though only skin-deep, this new facade substantially transforms the potential of 80 Bloor.

During the winter the panels are closed and illuminated. In this case, the LEDs in the façade cast pink and white light in the holiday spirit.The panels are open during the warm months of the

year, and the façade distorts the current appearance of the Bloor West streetscape.

In the fall, the panels provide natural ventilation, even at night. In this example, the LEDs have lit the façade orange for Hallowe’en.

An interior view out to the façade during the summer. The exterior façade is opened and the interior façade is closed maximizing the use of stack effect.
