How to fit a new tower with large efficient floor plates on a tight site next to the elevated highway? How to orient the views towards water and the city center while creating an inviting presence on Bay Street? How to create a podium that is open and inviting from all sides, rather than a barrier of public flows? And how to create an architectural synergy between the historic Harbor Commission building and a new tower that will become the tallest building in Toronto?
