The immediate image of the southern end of Arc projecting towards Sheppard like the brow of a boat, is not an accidental afterthought nor a whimsical caricature. It is the tension between the horizontal winged entrance to the subway and the rising form of the residence above, that focuses the casual eye to follow the linear lines created along Bayview Avenue as it falls sharply away to the north. It is the restriction of width in the site, together with the constraints of the local topographical landscape that creates a building mass that folds discretely into the side of the natural slope at its crest and yet forms a sweeping modern mid-rise avenue building that captures the glow of a crimson sunset in the crisp details of its façade. The subtle horizontal curve of the floor plates, accentuated with glass and metal hori- zontal banding details reinforce the sleek, sculptural presence of its horizontal.
In 2010, ARC Condos placed third in the Pug Awards for an Honourable Mention.
