250 Lester, Waterloo

Mr. Aqeel was the principal architect for 250 Lester, a 12-story residential project located on a very restrictive site in Waterloo, Ontario. The site's zoning requirements offered many challenges, including a limited tower footprint, close proximity to potential neighboring developments, and driveway access.  


The building’s massing steps back from the street, offering a more human-scale frontage along Lester Street. It also provides a rooftop amenity space oriented south to maximize sun exposure. The building is then wrapped in a skin that offers more opacity for private spaces and more transparency for public spaces to mitigate privacy concerns with future neighboring buildings.
