Nexus Square


Located on 16 Station Street in Bancroft, Ontario, Nexus Square is a mixed-use development that provides careful consideration towards the York River. The ground floor serves as a public square, accommodating commercial and cultural uses while residential units are located on upper floors. The main focus of this development is on community-building and the gathering of townspeople. There is also an emphasis on creating a visual and physical connection to the river, hence the courtyard-style layout.
This project explores the recessed courtyard form in tandem with tectonics to deliver variability in public, private, and semi-private spaces. It establishes an architectural response to the lack of a "town square," breathing new life into the intimate town of Bancroft, Ontario.
