The Cosmopolitan Furs Building is located in the fashion
district of west central Toronto. The area is home to a wide range of
clothing manufacturers, fur designers and merchants. The City of Toronto
encouraged the continuing use of buildings of this type for manufacturing and
wholesaling operations that are characterized by loft type spaces. DLIA was
retained to design a ground floor showroom and upper floor office space for
the Cosmopolitan Fur Company. The five storey building also contains
additional rental space for showrooms and manufacturing. Due to the deep and
narrow configuration of the site, the street facade provided the only
opportunity for glazed area. with the side walls extending to the property
line. The windows mimic the loft spaces of adjacent buildings while using
contemporary materials. The showroom space on the ground floor uses granite,
mirrors, and halogen lighting to accentuate the fur products. |
