In Praise of the Urban Balcony

Canadian architect Drew Sinclair makes a case for rethinking the amenity, a lifesaver in the era of COVID-19 and a generally untapped boon.

With a similar ambition to expand the utility of our outdoor spaces, my own firm, SvN in Toronto, is experimenting with terraced balconies in varying shapes and sizes, extending the function of the interiors at our 3803 Dundas Street West residential project for TAS, for instance, to forge a stronger connection with a forested valley edge nearby. The main design focus for the 300 apartments in the complex is the integration of elements usually associated with individual houses, specifically backyards and front porches. The development’s outdoor spaces will include community garden plots for food production and large balconies with planters doubling as birdhouses facing the ravine.

3803 Dundas Street West

We have challenged ourselves to maximize impact by setting a bold new precedent for a community-focused hub. We’ve prioritized inclusion through the introduction of 297 purpose-built rental apartments including 20% affordable and co-living through 12 four-bedroom units designed for roommates to share. We are targeting a thoughtful mix of ground floor commercial tenants – including creative spaces, micro-retail and restaurants – to attract and service those living within the building, across the local neighbourhood and beyond. The design was directly inspired by the project’s location on the edge of the Humber River Valley Ravine, and is characterized by unique landscaping, balconies that blur the lines between indoor and outdoor space, and generous public realm improvements.
