3064 Trafalgar Rd

pre-construction

The proposed development consists of a total of two (2) towers each consisting of a total of thirty (30) floors, consistent with the characteristics of the surrounding area. An entry courtyard is proposed between the two towers of the proposed development. The courtyard features a modern hardscape layout, inspired by the 1929 painting entitled ‘Monument in Fertile Land’ by artist Paul Klee. The proposed courtyard also contains a selection of shade trees and plantings to screen utilities and provide four-season interest along with benches and bicycle parking. A trellis, four meters wide and running in a north-south direction, is also proposed to provide interest and weather protection for pedestrians. 3064 Trafalgar is inspired by the Town of Oakville’s rich history and natural surroundings. Appearing like two giant oak trees sitting proudly in a landscape, the two towers are linked by a transparent glass spine at the ground floor to minimize the development’s footprint while allowing for a more seamless integration with the outdoors. Custom concrete precast panels have been selected for the building’s primary cladding material. Each panel has been designed like a strip of bark on a tree, and the concrete’s raw texture and properties provide an opportunity to create a durable and robust design that speaks to an oak tree’s enduring quality. 3064 Trafalgar is set to be the first tall development in the region and will set a high standard for design excellence, materiality, amenity, and relationship to the natural surroundings. Being the first comes with expectations, and this project will be a symbol for the region and a sign of things to come. It’s why we believe the oak tree is such a powerful image and the heart of our development: it represents the region’s past, present and future.
