Ideal Lofts, 301 Markham St
01

Overview & history

Context Development built it to a design by architectsAlliance. A rusticated masonry base carries storeys of red brick, with the top switched to curtain wall so it reads as a separate contemporary addition; the massing was drawn from warehouses nearby.

Lower-floor suites are single-level, wide and shallow behind full-width window walls; two-storey lofts with terraces sit on the sixth and eighth floors. Ceilings are exposed concrete at nine to ten feet, and sizes start near 510 square feet.
