The National Post writes on Toronto's Richmond Street Housing Co-operative, this year's winner of the
Peoples Choice Awards for Architecture (PUG Awards) for Best Residential Building. A
Toronto Community Housing Corporation development, the 11-storey, 85-unit building was designed by
Teeple Architects Inc. and finished construction in 2009. Located just west of Church on Richmond the building is the first new housing co-operative to be built in the city in the last 20 years.
"Pug Awards winners were announced Wednesday night at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Toronto residents voted for their most and least favourite buildings from a total of 41 nominees (34 residential and 7 commercial/institutional). Voting took place on the Pug Awards website during the Month of May. Voters could either "love it," "like it," or "hate it."
"For a design to be nominated the building had to be completed in 2009, in Toronto and be larger than 50,000 sq. feet."
