Buckhorn Gate
This 2500m² courtyard site is a component of a large office development project originally planned and designed by BTi in 2013. The courtyard needed to be updated and reprogrammed to suit building renovations and Baker Turner was retained by BentallGreenOak to redesign the site to include more active employee amenity elements and extend use of the space into the shoulder seasons with furnished shelter. The courtyard was redesigned to enhance existing plantings and provide a BBQ shelter for the patio area, a basketball court, a multifunctional artificial turf area for volleyball, putting and a setting for informal and corporate gatherings, an expanded patio with Pergola shelters, Trekfit exercise area and trail integrated into an existing landscaped berm, a sand beach area with Muskoka stlye chairs, umbrellas and a fire pit with decorative metal screening and planting along Eglinton Avenue. The courtyard is now more active and inviting.
