Senior centre brings ‘ocean-liner’ design to long-term care
Designed by Montgomery Sisam Architects, The Rekai Centre at Cherry Place in Toronto redefines urban aging by making long-term care safer and restoring connection and quality of life after the pandemic.
The 13-storey, 348-bed home is inspired by an ocean liner anchored to the city and Lake Ontario. Layered with terraces, promenades, and gardens, every resident has short, accessible connections to outdoor spaces and sweeping views of the city and water.
The facility features brick tones, deep window frames, and exterior “porthole” precast details, with five alternating brick palettes.
