In Toronto's distinguished South Hill neighbourhood, Maison 77 Clarendon, a five-storey luxury condominium, continues to take shape with glazing installation now complementing the ongoing cladding work. Designed by Richard Wengle Architect for Menkes Developments, the boutique residence exhibits an Art Moderne theme with traditional architectural elements, meant to evoke hte clean, geometric forms of pre-war New York City architecture.
On the southeast corner of Clarendon Avenue and Russell Hill Road, Maison 77 Clarendon finds itself in a tranquil with lush greenery close to Sir Winston Churchill Park. UrbanToronto last provided an update in July, 2024, when the structure had topped off. Now, drone photography captures the latest progress on the site throughout the fall.
In September, 2024, extensive scaffolding now envelops the building’s first three floors, extending partially up to the fourth storey. The scaffolding wraps much of the east and north elevations, and significant progress has been made in glazing installation, visible on the fifth floor of the north elevation with the east elevation catching up. Construction materials are staged at ground level, fronting Clarendon Avenue.
Focusing on the south elevation, further installation of expansive floor-to-ceiling windows is visible by the recesses of the southwest corner, including on the fifth balcony, while the roof now boasts a fully installed waterproofing membrane to protect the structure from the elements and make life comfortable inside. Mechanical penthouse work is ongoing, with some materials and equipment awaiting final minstallations.
In October, 2024, looking southeast, we see progress along the north elevation, fronting Clarendon Avenue. Blue insulation now wraps the north and west elevations over vapour barrier seen in the previous story. A lighter blue insulation covers the concrete parapet wall of the fourth storey, which will serve as the structural support for a decorative frieze.
The construction hoist is on the west side of the north elevation, positioned near the distinctive curved corner balconies. Temporary platforms and scaffolding extend across the first two floors by the hoist. More windows have been installed on all five floors of the west elevation, including at grade along the curved northwest corner adjacent to the hoist.
Looking northwest, the south elevation faces the trees of the ravine which it takes best advantage of with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows. They create a sleek, modern facade between projecting corner balconies, contrasting with the traditional architectural elements on the bulk of the exterior.
On the east elevation, glazing is now fully installed. Towards Clarendon Avenue on the right, the facade gradually becomes more traditional with two vertical columns of windows framed by formal white masonry cladding.
Maison 77 Clarendon stands 22.1m, and upon completion, will offer 20 exclusive suites.
