A new 8500 square foot mixed-use building forms a key addition to the historic downtown core in the town of Dundas. The project is significant because it not only introduces a challenge to address the main historical street, but also the corner. Visibility triangle requirements were developed into an opportunity to create an outdoor space into the public realm. The neighbouring environment formed the inspiration by which to integrate the new built form. Material character such as red brick tie into the local vernacular and historic nature of the surroundings, while aluminum panels highlight its 21st century construction; thus, forming a complimentary cohesive end result. The mixed use building program is commercial/retail with second storey office space. The building’s primary tenants at ground level are the Starbucks Coffee Company and the First Ontario Credit Union.
