A groundbreaking modern residential building, the likes of which Toronto has never seen before, is set to take its place on the edge of one of North America's most colourful and coveted neighbourhoods. The sophisticated and funky N-BLOX at 799 College is a low-rise, high-quality, condominium project perfect for those who appreciate living an urban lifestyle in a vibrant and inviting neighborhood. Set on a New York-style 50 x 110 deep lot, N-BLOX is surrounded by a city strip packed with popular restaurants, bars, cafés and specialty shops with parks and schools nearby. In what can be described as an architectural work of art, easily recognizable as a landmark, the façade will feature a stunning exterior that resembles avant-garde building blocks of glass clad with a mixture of stone, brick and metal. Eschewing volume for style and substance, only eight condominium apartments, ranging in size from 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, are being developed in this boutique six-storey structure, ensuring N-BLOX creates an eye-catching presence on the street and provides a modern compliment to this iconic neighbourhood. A cozy minimalist lobby, designed to optimize privacy and maximize security, leads to elevators that open directly into each suite’s private foyer. Each unit has its own exclusive elevator access, and penthouse residents have direct elevator access to their private rooftop terraces. Four of the units at N-BLOX are double height and feature floor to ceiling windows, offering superb, unobstructed views of College Street to the north and the Toronto skyline and greenery to the south. Large terraces provide ample ventilation and flood the apartments with natural light.Fonte: WorldArchitectureNews Quote
