05 TORONTO EMOTIONAL RESPONSE

Alva Roy designed his Towers of Love project, due to be completed in 2022, to be emblematic of an ‘inextricable bond’. The scheme consists of 22- and 24-floor structures that stand alone yet together to represent the depths of romantic love. The shorter building accommodates a hotel and restaurant, residential and commercial space while the taller tower will be home to commercial facilities as well as residential areas on its higher floors. Roy said: “Architecture is not just a wall, a floor and a ceiling to house ourselves. It is a place where we connect to the deepest emotions of the human heart.”
