143 Main Street – KFA Architects and Planners

KFA has developed this 10-storey mixed-use building at 143-147 Main Street, just south of Gerrard Street, overcoming the challenges of a narrow lot. Previously, the site was occupied by a two-storey rental building, once serving as the Main Street Village post office. The new design incorporates ground-level retail and 58 rental units above. Careful attention has been paid to heritage considerations, with the two-storey base aligning with the existing roof lines of neighboring buildings to the north.

I'm fine with the scale, but not a fan of the sandstone colour or cold grey spandrel on the crown. Please send back to the drawing board.
