At Graduate House, a dorm for graduate
students that also contains a restaurant on the first floor,
the primary material is a dull, gray metal panel with built-in
projections that give the facade a much-needed horizontality
while setting up and framing the window openings. Facing Spadina
Avenue, the main entry is recessed, marked by a tall, mustard
yellow wall and a curtain wall, and toward Harbord Street to
the south, a steel frame, covered in perforated metal with irregular
openings, wraps the horizontal metal panels. Even with these
features the obvious focus of the exterior is the cantilevered
frame and perforated, green metal signage; a contemporary gateway
to the campus. |
