KENNEDY, Canada, Edmonton 2015-2017, Lead designer (Architecture, Urban Design)
Largest proposed multiuse tower and park in Edmonton. This 80-storey condo tower proposed for the Quarters in downtown Edmonton .
The Quarters Hotel and Residences would tower over Jasper Avenue and Grierson Hill Road, bordered on the west by the Shaw Conference Centre and on the east by 96th Street.
The building would be the tallest in Edmonton. Despite the height, the river valley will still be in sight for people below.
"We designed the podium of the tower to be transparent, so the only piece of the tower that blocks six-and-a-half per cent of the view is the core for the elevators and the stairwells,"
"Everything else is completely clear, so you can walk along Jasper Avenue and you can see down through the tower to the whole river valley."
The project would include a hotel, condominiums, restaurants, fitness facilities, shops and two publicly accessible parks, stretching over 100,000 square feet.
