Gabriel

Gabriel is a thoughtfully designed 12-unit apartment building that brings a mix of new homes to a neighbourhood on the fast track for intensification. Located just a short walk from the Orleans Shopping Centre and conveniently close to a light rail stop, this development introduces a variety of unit types, from bachelor apartments to 3-bedroom homes, providing options for households at every stage of life.

​

Designed to fit seamlessly into a neighbourhood zoned for major transition, Gabriel balances present context with future growth. Its sloped roof, welcoming entrance, and generous balconies ensure the building complements the surrounding streetscape while anticipating the mid- and high-rise developments planned for the area. A slightly sunken front entranceway with a short ramp provides accessibility for all residents, while rear-yard parking adds convenience without dominating the site.

​

Inside, each unit is designed to maximize comfort, natural light, and functionality. Open layouts and thoughtful detailing create spaces that feel larger than their footprint, ensuring livability alongside density. By introducing a variety of unit sizes and configurations, Gabriel supports a diverse mix of households, contributing positively to the evolving character of the neighbourhood.

​

Currently under construction, Gabriel is set to become a vibrant addition to the community, offering context-sensitive, modern living while aligning with the area’s trajectory of growth and intensification.
