The ground floor is zoned for retail as well as residential use, in the hopes that future commercial activity will further enliven the street.   Photo © James Brittian The north facade fronts the local main artery and is built right to the property line. Scrims of perforated corrugated metal over windows offer privacy. More than half of the 25 units have mezzanine lofts, whose slender floors allowed the architects to fit in seven levels while keeping within the regulated total height.   Photo © James Brittian Features such as open-tread staircases, double-height ceilings, and generous glazing enhance the spatial experience.   Photo © James Brittian The design team focused on finding 'architecture in the leftover spaces.   Photo © James Brittian Image courtesy 5468796 Architecture Image courtesy 5468796 Architecture Image courtesy 5468796 Architecture Image courtesy 5468796 On the main thoroughfare through the commercial district of Winnipeg, Manitoba, a series of metal boxes protrudes from the 1904 facade of the Avenue Building like a cluster of Donald Judd sculptures bursting from the windows.

Historic 1904 facade before renovation.

Despite lackluster finishes and small floor plans, the residential interiors feel spacious. Photo courtesy 5468796 Architecture A piercing metal canopy, clad in the same mirror-finished material as the balconies, extends like a pair of airplane wings across the Avenue Building's facade, asserting its presence on the sidewalk and keeping the recessed entry clear of snow. 5468796 used simple materials and a repeated hexagon motif to create a dynamic interior for Manitoba Start.
