Toronto’s Hazelton Lanes shopping centre has embarked on a $10 million renovation that includes transformation of the indoor courtyard into a new centre piazza, to be named Oval Square (seen above).
Designed by Johnson Chou Architects Inc., the square includes an architecturally striking balustrade that wraps around the upper level of the courtyard, consisting of mezzanines and a variation of balconies accessible through openings in the archways.
A new boldly designed curved stairway will serve as a key landmark and link the upper and lower portions of the square. Seating options include conversation areas with soft seating, built-in lunch bars, community tables and free standing tables as well as wi-fi connectivity. A permanent raised platform/seating area will double as a stage for special events. Contractor is ICI Construction. Scheduled for completion in August, the renovation also includes a major expansion of the Whole Foods Market. A contractor has not yet been retained. The centre’s owners, Hazelton Lanes Inc., joined forces with Whole Foods and TNT The New Trend to undertake the renovations.
