ZZ Projects
In the heart of Toronto’s historic Kensington Market, at the corner of Nassau & Bellevue, stands a cutting-edge structure showcasing the perfect balance between sustainable building practices and exceptional craftsmanship. The building is home to 7 commercial spaces that run entirely off 200 amp service topped by 44 solar panels.
The flagship build sits at a central artery of Kensington Market. Where once stood The Bellevue Estate, a 100-acre parcel of land owned by George Taylor Denison in the 1800s, now sits a symbiotic structure that effortlessly harmonizes sustainability with functionality. In the 1960s, the site housed a Portuguese bookstore where patrons would congregate to listen to soccer games. Decades later the corner was home to The Bellevue Diner, a beloved local brunch destination.
The exterior facade boasts striking thermally modified ash cladding from Thermory. The tongue + groove cladding is accented by protruding milled battens to create a striking aesthetic that is both unique and in character with its surroundings. Exposed Douglas Fir Glulam posts & beams, alongside flat cut fir windows & routered millwork offer an organic interior appeal that infuses the site with warmth and character.
On the west facing wall stands a captivating cactus landscape mural while the north masonry facade proudly showcases a vibrant Jimmy Hendrix mural. These murals capture and evoke the eclectic spirit of Kensington Market, serving as a visual representation of Kensington Markets’ artistic and bohemian history.
