A contrast of traditional and modern, of horizontal and vertical, of glazing and masonry. 400 Wellington West unites form and function through design inspired by the King West neighbourhood’s distant and not-so-distant pasts. A structure of halves, the front 10-storey building draws from the existing fabric of Wellington West with architecture inspired by the red-brown warehouse buildings populating the area. Meanwhile, 400 Wellington West’s 12-storey alter-ego draws from a more recent past, with a mid-1900s-inspired horizontal layout of windows and masonry. And each half is capped by contemporary penthouse designs with extra-large windows offering stunning views of the King West neighbourhood and beyond.
