RESIDENTIAL HI-RISE RENTAL
Location: 80 St. Clair Avenue East, Toronto, Ontario
FAÇADE RETROFIT: 80 St. Clair Avenue East, is a 28 storey residence rental building that has been retrofitted by employing BILDTEC’s Curtain Wall substructure system. The project required that the original masonry brick cladding be removed due to
years of deterioration. The BILDTEC retrofit design allowed the Building's Owner to install a new, more effective Vapour Barrier as well as making the building more energy efficient by installing insulation with the substructure cavity. Ventilated Rainscreen Façade System will provide a substantial increase to the value of the building, decreasing heating and cooling costs as well as the reduced need for long term repairs.
INDUSTRIAL BUILDING CONVERSION TO
OFFICE COMMERCIAL
Location: 221 North Rivermede, Concord, Ontario,
FAÇADE RENEWAL AND RETROFIT : BILDTEC substructure systems was designed and engineered to utilize the existing brick masonry exterior walls. The Client wanted to Renew and update the design of the building while maintaining the existing structure.
BILTEC’s innovative approach provided the Architect with the design flexibility to achieve the desired Architectural Design that the Client wanted. BILDTEC worked with the Architect and the Client to achieve a unique esthetic effect by providing three different cladding applications. One of the buildings striking features will be its backlit Solid Surface Facade. The unique cladding material allows for the creation of complex shapes of any type. Its malleability and flexible nature allows the Architect to give form to their imaginative ideas, whether it be curved, squared, spiral elements or infinite shapes.
The other two utilized BILDTEC’s Medium and Large Format porcelain stoneware substructure systems.
