TORONTO
The new headquarters of Corus Entertainment
on the Toronto waterfront
Corus Entertainment, an important Canadian
media group operating in the field of radio and
television, boasts a new headquarters located
on the Toronto waterfront. The new building,
designed by Diamond+Schmitt Architects, will
be home to over 1000 employees on a surface
of 480 thousand square meters, spread out over
8 floors. Not just offices, but commercial spaces
and a restaurant.
Inside the structure, an ample egg-shaped volume
will contain the television studio that will
host the audiences invited to participate in the
shows.
The new building will be located near a
sugar refinery, which means that the buildings
adjacent to it become covered with a thin layer
of sugar; for this reason the architects chose a
simple cladding that is easy to clean and provides
good weather insulation.
