Ok, I’m impressed. Have you seen Sherbourne Common? If you haven’t, I suggest that you check it out. This is the most recent project to be unveiled as part of Toronto’s ambitious waterfront. Designed by landscape architects Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg, Sherbourne Common is an example of how critical infrastructure – in this case a neighbourhood storm water treatment facility – can be fully integrated into a neighbourhood. The brilliant part is that the facility doubles as an elegant public space where current and future residents of the planned East Bay Front community will be able to gather, play and interact Via Lauren Moss Delete the scoop?
