Toronto Soft Loft Buildings
Lofts at DNA - 1 Shaw Street & 1005 King West
The place that named itself. It's who you are and where you want to be. Located in the King West Neighborhood, DNA' s design was influenced by the materials and look of the turn of the century King West buildings. The limestone detailing is a throw back to an era when great brick buildings defined the street scape. The tinted and sandblasted glass combines with the steel to add multiple levels of sophistication.
The brilliant features and finishes you'll discover at DNA go above and beyond the norm. The exterior of the building is a cool combination of eclectic styles. The street context is brick with limestone detailing reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century warehouse aesthetic. Out of this, a totally contemporary structure of steel and glass pushes into the skyline. This is cool, sophisticated and very, very livable. Inside you'll find a lobby that is truly unique. Designed by famed space guru's, II by IV Design, it is a two-story, oval volume space bisected through the upper level with a floating bridge. Elevator cabs, corridors and other "common" areas are equally uncommon.
Enter DNA and you're greeted by a 2-storey lobby that combines both towers with a flexible bridge. Outside you'll enjoy the geometric gardens intersecting pathways, overhead trellis, evergreen hedges and patterned planting's that are a treat to the eye. The first thing you feel when you enter the suites is the light cascading through the enormous, expansive windows. And a sense of space as you look around the open concept layout with it's nine foot ceilings. Suites are big spaces, full of light offering 9 ft ceilings, floor to ceiling windows sketching outside to huge terraces. These are suites with urban zen styles just waiting for a signature. Units range from 500 to 1,700 square feet.
