landscape rationale 6.1

Landscape RationaleThe landscape concept for 445 Kingsway provides a variety of outdoor amenity spaces for workers and residents

Groundplane

The site has over 5m of grade change from St. George Street up to Kingsway. The ground floor landscape is split between the residential character of St. George Street and the retail character of Kingsway. The Kingsway public realm will be developed as per the Mount Pleasant Public Realm Design Guidelines with a widened sidewalk up to the building façade. This will allow for patios and retail to spill out onto the sidewalk. A continuous canopy along Kingsway provides weather protection along the retail frontage. The residential entries along Kingsway will be differentiated with contrasting paving, seating and bike parking.

The public realm on St. George Street will consist of a 1.8m wide sidewalk and an expanded boulevard for additional tree planting. The new sidewalk will chicane around an existing cedar that will be retained. St. George Street has both a residential lobby entry, and individual residential suite entries. The lobby entry is flush with the sidewalk and as the grade drops the suite patios become raised above the public realm to provide casual surveillance over the public realm. These patios will be developed as ‘stoops’ and facilitate interaction with the public realm.

Roof Gardens

There is an office patio at Level 2. The seating is set back from the parapet and buffered with planting so as to not create overlook to the adjacent property. Level 3 has a large amenity garden. Dining and seating areas are proposed adjacent to the interior amenity room. A children’s play area has been located to maximize sunlight and provide good oversite from the amenity room.

There are several garden areas on Level 7. At the west there is a large area of intensive planting adjacent to three residential patios. Between the two towers there is a passive

seating area buffered from Kingsway with intensive planting. The east side has a large common amenity garden with a lounge area, seating platform, a south facing lawn, and intensive planting.

Each tower has a rooftop amenity garden. Outdoor dining areas, lounge areas, seating platforms and urban agriculture are proposed. The mechanical equipment has been incorporated into the roof design within a screened architectural enclosure.

Sustainable Landscape Strategies

Tree Retention

The site contains a number of large trees at the perimeter. A large cedar mid-block on St. George Street will be retained, and the building and underground parking have been pulled back to ensure tree retention. Four street trees along Kingsway will be retained and one tree will be removed at the parking entry. There are a number of trees within the proposed building footprint that will be removed.

Planting Design

The proposed plant palette aims to reduce potable water consumption by using low water demand and/or drought tolerant species. The plant palette has also been developed to provide food sources and habitat to birds and bees.

Urban Agriculture

Urban agriculture is proposed on the rooftops of both buildings. The design of these spaces also includes tool storage, a potting benches, and hose bibs.

Stormwater Management

Stormwater will be mitigated through the use of deep soil volumes over the suspended slab. Soil depths between 450 – 1200mm are proposed for plant growth and to slow down stormwater.
