Streetscapes
The Well is a bold reflection of Toronto’s energy and diversity and a vibrant mixture of retail, commercial and residential space in downtown Toronto that will draw approximately 22,000 daily visitors. The design includes 1.2 million square feet of office space, 320,000 square feet of retail and food service and well as 1,700 residential units.
Award winning architectural firm CCxA wove in opportunities for fluidity, creativity and connectivity throughout the design. In particular, they gave careful consideration to selecting pavers for the areas that would need to withstand heavy vehicular traffic.
Load Lock Technology by Unilock was selected as the best solution to tackle this particular problem. Load Lock is a patented fully-interlocking system with integrated protection against shifting. The patented jointing technology concentrates on surfaces with heavy traffic volumes and high loads.
At the Well, CCxA selected custom colors on Load Lock pavers to compliment the Series pavers, also by Unilock. These custom colors also help delineate the vehicular areas while also fostering a seamless outdoor transition between spaces. Together, they create a fluid design that’s simple to navigate, enabling people to move easily throughout.
Today, The Well offers new opportunities for eating, shopping, working, playing and living. And it’s just what Toronto has been waiting for.
