Designs for a massive new housing development across from Scarborough’s Kennedy GO station look something like a technicolour game of Connect Four.
Hundreds of windows on three different towers are framed in circles of concrete, stained to vivid shades of yellow, orange, blue and red. The towers sit on a wide, interconnected base, which the architects say will be home to gathering spots, community gardens and a blanket of greenery.
It’s an unusual proposal for an unusual building. The design renderings for 2444 Eglinton Ave. East, between Kennedy Road and Midland Avenue, are a blueprint for a massive co-operative housing effort posed to transform a parking lot and autobody shop into a co-op consisting of 612 affordable to market-priced rental units, plus hundreds more market condos.
