Pharrell Williams designs Untitled residences for Toronto
Musician and fashion designer Pharrell Williams has designed a two-tower residential development for Toronto, Canada.
Williams was enlisted by Toronto developers Reserve Properties and Westdale Properties to work with architects IBI Group and interior designers U31 on the exterior, interiors and furnishings for the project called Untitled.
Announced today, it marks the Grammy Award-winning artist's first foray into residential development, following other architecture and design endeavours such as collaborations with late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid and fashion brand G-Star Raw. Williams has also designed a youth centre in his home town Virginia with Miami-based architect Chad Oppenheim.
"The opportunity to apply my ideas and viewpoint to the new medium of physical structures has been amazing," said Williams. "Everyone at the table had a collective willingness to be open, to be pushed, to be prodded and poked, to get to that uncomfortable place of question mark, and to find out what was on the other side," he added. "The result is Untitled and I'm very grateful and appreciative to have been a part of the process."
Designed for the city's midtown neighbourhood Yonge and Eglinton, Untitled will comprise two towers joined by a podium. It will contain 750 residential units inside.
Little information about the project's design has been revealed so far, apart from a teaser image that shows metallic facades detailed with a zigzag pro...
