Vacant Rooftop Becomes Garden Paradise
July 6, 2011
In 2010 when Condo Owner Sharon Wright came to us with her vision of her third floor Queen Quay terrace in Toronto, we were sceptical. She basically wanted to change which was an inverted roof system which faced the Gardiner Expressway into a beautiful terrace.
She needed an engineer to certify that the new loads would not compromise the structural integrity of the building and to design a fence which when constructed on the roof deck would incorporate a durable waterproof connection. Brown & Beattie Ltd. carried out the necessary review, designed the waterproof fence post details and prepared the drawings for permit application. We followed-up by reviewing the work carried out by the contractor.
Ms. Wright was very instrumental in the process. She had the vision and determination to see this project through by co-ordinating with various trades, material suppliers, city building officials and the Condominium Corporation. She personally handled the decorating which completed her Garden Paradise. This project was featured in the Toronto Star and yourhome.ca which can be accessed through the link below.
