A contrast of traditional and modern, of horizontal and vertical, of glazing and masonry. 400 Wellington West unities form and function through design inspired by the King West neighbourhood’s distant and not-so-distant pasts. A structure of halves, the front 10-storey building draws from the existing fabric of Wellington West with architecture inspired by the red-brown warehouse buildings popular in the area. Meanwhile, the 12-storey alter-ego draws from a more recent past, with a mid-1900s-inspired horizontal layout of windows and masonry. Each half is capped by contemporary penthouse designs with extra-large windows offering stunning views of the King West neighbourhood and beyond.
