MONARCH /

Location: 536 2nd Avenue North, Saskatoon SK

The Monarch is located in the northern part of downtown Saskatoon, where many red brick warehouses once stood. Using this style as inspiration, we set out to achieve their same scale and texture. The result reintroduced the neighbourhood to the character these buildings once brought to the city’s core. The angled site of this 1909m2 building required a creative solution to ensure individual storefronts along the side street. By stepping the facade backward along this angle, we were able to achieve a unique building form with extra wide sidewalks and patio areas for each tenant. The red brick facade is complimented with black metal windows and limestone features, including a custom cornerstone street name block
