ATLANTIC CANADA He said TD, who are the prime tenant, along with and tenants, have been helpful, co-operative and under- standing about the inconveniences during the renova- tion. The project incorporates three distinct architectural eras. “The owner of the building purchased adjacent lots, which allowed for the expansion,” Pieczonka said. “This included a heritage building, which we needed to incor- porate into the design. As well, the original building, due Lloyd www.maclellanconstruction.com • • • • • • • Excavating Heavy Equipment Rentals Demolition Water & Sewer Snow Removal Boom Truck Rentals Rock Removal 902-475-1314 780 Old Sambro Rd Halifax, NS B3V 1A3 to its modest floor plate, has a slender proportion with an elegance we wanted to maintain within the enlarged tower design.” This created a challenge – to design the project so that the new, old and older appear to be one. “The heritage façade informs a new infill façade as a contemporary interpretation of the original,” the archi- tect said. “The enlarged office tower is fully wrapped in a new unitized curtain-wall system with two distinct pat- terns to create visual interest while recreating the ele- gant proportions of the original tower.” Local trades are working on the project, but the cur- tain-wall was brought in from Ontario due to the high degree of specialization and performance the design re- quires. Pieczonka says the much-larger building will con- sume no more energy than the current structure. It will also include a green roof and photo voltaic panels on the canopy and sun shades. He commended the owner for their approach to the project. “Within our firm we say great architecture is the re- sult of great clients and that is certainly true here,” he said. “They have been very supportive and as a result, we are creating a beautiful landmark for Halifax.” The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2014. We are proud to be part of the TD Centre success.
