The Margueretta Street Hondo is a missing middle housing project at addressing Toronto's housing challenges. We are collaborating with Think Real Estate to explore innovative housing concepts that bridge the gap between traditional single-family homes and large-scale condominiums.
Their goal and our long-term focus of study is the development of a new middle ground between single family residences and large-scale condominium projects. By weaving thoughtful design together with the inherent qualities of existing neighbourhoods we aim to introduce gentle infill densification through projects that integrate into neighbourhoods, recognizing the importance of community connections and preserving a sensitivity to the established context.
This approach to development requires established dogma to be placed in conflict with innovative approaches to housing people. The resultant of these opposing forces has the capacity to create communities that promote connectivity and leverage established infrastructure to increase our housing capacity in a sensitive and sustainable way.
