A model from our exhibition Toronto Imagined, where 2 single family semis are replaced by 15 residential units, 4 commercial units, and 🏀 half-court, on a zero lot line single egress building, backing on to a mixed-use laneway.

This design by SOCA represents what the missing middle should be in a central big-city neighbourhood.

Congrats to SOCA on the opening of their exhibition Toronto Imagined at TMU.
It’s so refreshing to see architects thinking critically and creatively about what Toronto could be.

If Toronto zoning allows laneway housing, then why not cafés, barber shops, and more?
How can commercial uses in neighbourhoods support cultural vibrancy & affordability?
We asked these questions as part of our Venice Biennale exhibition exploring gentle density beyond housing.

@soca_arch is one of the leaders articulating this approach. Their rendering below, depicts a mixed-use laneway with small-scale retail & a recreational space (b-ball court) overlooking it. I encourage you to check out & reference their import work as you advance convos :)

Nice chat at @MonarchTavern w/ owner @georgiades, @alexbozikovic @soca_arch & Aaron Letki of Contra Cafe on the benefits, challenges and ongoings of expanding non-residential uses in ‘neighbourhoods’ - #1 way to get people out of cars is to expand walkability and it starts here.
