The 360 Lofts Condo was, at the time,
the tallest wood frame structure in
Ottawa. The infill condo was built in
2012 and won a City of Ottawa Urban
Design Award of Merit and Ontario
WoodWorks Award of Excellence.
“The project is in the Byward Market,
with dynamic form, durable materials,
and good urbanism, providing a leg-
acy of quality for the Market, without
resorting to a cookie-cutter develop-
ment model. It hides parking from the
street and increases the quality of
built urban form,” says Dreessen. “The
building shows my interest in quality,
unique, infill development, pushing
the technical boundaries of conven-
tional construction.”
The Orleans Veterinary Hospital
brought a new facility to the growing
suburb east of Ottawa. “It was my first
foray into veterinary hospitals and it
was a great experience,” says Drees
“I see the firm growing as we take on projects in a variety of scales, sizes
and models, to challenge the assumptions that “architects draft plans” to
show that #architectscanhelp.” —Toon Dreessen, President
