Jury Comments
The mid-rise component of this development stands out as an appropriately scaled, contemporary response to the need for increased density in established neighbourhoods. Front doors and stoops on the ground-floor units respect the Victorian row-house vernacular, while a simply and beautifully detailed façade civilizes the extra density.
