Toronto's Borrowed Hotel
Jan - May 2021
About the Work
The hotel unifies the existing building with added forms that are indicative from different points of architectural interest around the city of Toronto. The design is meant to be a “map” for tourists to provide reference of compelling architectural forms. The interior will consist of forms, colours, shapes, materials etc. plagiarized from Toronto and then transformed and integrated throughout all aspects of our hotel.
Factors to Consider
Only 25% of the exterior could be renovated
The site is surrounded by several significant landmarks
