Facade

The six storey Volume on the 16th Street Mall wraps around the base volume in a way that relates specifically to the wrapping of the adjacent Sugar Building's ornmental facade around the corner against the laneway and then brought to a full stop, establishing a clear hierarchy through the articulation of a zone adressing the main street.

The transition between commercial office and resedential uses at the top of the fourth floor is markes by deeper setback of operable glazed windows within the 16th Street masonry facade. The 16th Street facade in turn references one of the mid-bands within the facade of the Sugar Building. The top of the parapet of SugarCube is set at a height that aligns with the underside of the upper cornice of the Sugar Building. The roof of the masonry base buildings on the 16th Street Mall and Blake Street provide generous outdoor terraces for residential units on the 5th and 6th floor.
