Elements SPA & Medical Facility
195 Avenue Road, Toronto

While working for Array International Architects Inc., Mahmoud Kaddoura managed a complex assignment to convert 3 existing urban homes into one modern medical facility. The program includes a cosmetic surgery facility with associated offices, examination rooms and other ancillary uses. A spa and a beauty salon are placed on the lower level. Above the existing roof, we added a conference room with access to a roof deck overlooking Ramsden Park. The architectonics of the building were expressed by replacing the existing envelop with new cladding partially covering vertical transportation and structural elements. The interior of the facility is well lit by a combination of large glazed areas and modern finishes with light colors.
