?Toronto is an expansive amalgam of cultures, languages, history, and future- forward ideas, and we couldn?t be more excited to call it home. Working with the deftly accomplished and visionary team at Shim-Sutcliffe to build a central gathering place for the city is an honor. We can?t wait to throw open our doors in one of the most multicultural cities in the world,? said Kelly Sawdon, Partner and Chief Brand Officer. Based in Toronto since Brigitte Shim and A. Howard Sutcliffe?s early collaborations in the 1980s, Shim-Sutcliffe?s architecture and design intertwines light and landscape through scale and materials with singular vision and innovation.
Like Ace, Shim-Sutcliffe Architects seek inspiration directly from the neighborhood and surrounding nature.
?We share core elemental values with Atelier Ace and worked together to build a civic space that feels warm and welcoming. A local place to gather, Ace Hotel Toronto is a contribution to the neighborhood and city itself, elevating Toronto?s rich history through form and materials, energized by its inhabitants and visitors,? said Shim-Sutcliffe Architects.
