Waterfront Toronto’s Spadina WaveDeck and Master Plan for Lake Ontario Park received 2009 Toronto Urban Design Awards. Spadina WaveDeck earned an Award of Excellence in the Small Open Space category and the Master Plan for Lake Ontario Park earned an Honourable Mention in the Vision and Masterplan category.
The City of Toronto’s Urban Design Awards recognize and acknowledge the significant contribution that architects, landscape architects, urban designers, artists, design students, and city builders make to the look and livability of Toronto.
Designed by West 8 and duToit Allsopp Hillier, the Spadina WaveDeck opened in September 2008 and was the first wavedeck opened along Toronto’s waterfront. The jury praised the wavedeck calling it “exciting and beautifully executed” and said it extends the “public’s imagination of what Toronto’s waterfront can become in the future.”
The Master Plan for Lake Ontario Park, designed by Field Operations, presents a bold vision for transforming 375 hectares of Toronto’s waterfront into an urban wilderness and recreational park.
Spadina WaveDeck and the Lake Ontario Park Master Plan are the recipients of several other prestigious design awards.
