Tonight (Oct 4) at Ryerson<\/a>, Colin Neufeld of 5468796 Architecture is speaking about their work<\/a>. You know 5468796: I wrote about their Bloc_10 apartment project here<\/a> and for the Globe and Mail.<\/p>\n

Here is another of their projects: a six-storey office building on downtown Winnipeg’s Hargrave Street for the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. It relies on one simple, smart move to define its massing and to compose its facades.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\" \"\" \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The firm explains it like so:<\/p>\n

Bound by a street, a parking lot and two existing buildings, the site could only accommodate a 75\u2019 x 75\u2019 floor plate. With a conventional stair and elevator core, the project would not have provided enough usable area to meet the<\/em> WRHA\u2019s requirements for open office space and access to natural light. By uncoiling the stair<\/em> flights, pushing them to the building\u2019s perimeter and allowing them to cantilever over the<\/em> site\u2019s boundaries, the project became possible.<\/em>
\n <\/em><\/p>\n

Starting from opposite corners, two staircases spiral down the building’s perimeter. The<\/em> sloping stair geometry creates an unconventional massing on all four sides of the building<\/em> and provides an unexpected spatial experience within. The exterior skin stretches over this<\/em> geometry, with the stairs dividing the building in half and making a natural break between<\/em> the more expensive curtain wall and the more economical metal cladding with punched<\/em> windows.<\/em><\/p>\n
