This true loft is housed within the Canada Foundry Company Factory, built in 1903 to manufacture railway tracts, bridges and locomotives. The building closed in 1981 after an era of transition during which most of the neighbourhood's railyard factories were demolished. A century after its construction, the structure was repurposed into hard lofts — a conversion primarily focused on functional reuse with a hundred new residential units. This renovation, by contrast, seeks to celebrate the historic structure with a more deliberate and dramatic insertion of new architectural forms.
