Riverside Place North - Phase II

H. Bradford Green Architect Inc was retained by Riverside North Corporation to design Phase II of the new Riverside Place Office complex. The 557 s.m. addition is a two-storey pre-engineered steel building clad with insulated prefinished metal panels. Thin set stone veneer highlight the two stair towers and elevator shaft. Continuous glazing bands provide relief for the prefinished metal panel wall masses.

Our role was to adapt the two-storey addition to an existing foundation, attached to an existing single storey building, resulting in a contiguous complex. The exterior finishing was designed to maintain continuity with the existing building, and enhance the appearance of the overall complex.

While originally intended to house a single tenant on each floor, the location of common/service space (exit stair towers, elevator, mechanical rooms, washrooms) was strategically set to allow for the potential future installation of public corridors to accommodate multiple tenants on each floor. Each floor has a dedicated main entrance and there is a shared second exit, which also serves the existing building.
