Hospitality Design - September 2022 - 89
For Ace Hotel's inaugural Canadian property, the company's inhouse
Atelier Ace design team worked with local firm Shim-Sutcliffe
Architects to bring the brand's hip, laidback ethos to Toronto's Garment
District. Led by founding partners Brigitte Shim and A. Howard Sutcliffe,
the architectural design, intended to look and feel timeless, personifies a
proud Southern Ontario spirit.
Shim loves her hometown's ubiquitous brick buildings, which
are made from local Don Valley clay, and she nodded to the district's
industrial roots in the design of the hotel's façade. " We referenced the
urbanism and history of the community, which was once full of 1920s
and '30s Art Deco warehouses, " she explains. Because the new build was
Shim-Sutcliffe's first hospitality project, Shim also endeavored to give
something back to the area. " We wanted to make a great civic room for
Toronto, " she says.
To that end, rust-hued bricks are stacked vertically and horizontally
along the Camden and Brant Street exteriors to form playful patterns
interspersed with vertical slivers of glass. " We respected the robust
construction within the neighborhood, " Shim says. " The building reads
as if it was slid into the area at some point-to be part of and to transcend
time. " The building's massing is further emphasized by an arch above a
copper-clad entry, a material found throughout the property, including
wrapped around the bar at Alder restaurant and in lighting that reflects
off exposed concrete.
Upon entry, guests immediately catch a glimpse of Horizon Line, a
three-story art installation made from weathered, stained, and untreated
plywood pieces. Designed by Suttcliffe and assembled by local custom
millworking firm Two Degrees North, the eye-catching piece mimics
the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario. Indeed, the triple-height lobby
lounge is the focal point of the property. Here, warm materials like
terracotta and Douglas fir mingle with mint-colored tiles that recall the
green hues of Ontario forests. " The lobby is a wooden tray that hangs
above a massive space, " points out Ace Hotel Group CEO Brad Wilson,
" yet it feels intimate at the same time with a mix of vintage and custom
furniture. "
