Kitchener, ON
Glove Box Office Redevelopment
Opportunity
The project encompasses restoration of the former, century-old Huck Glove factory, the addition of three storeys on top of the building and construction of an adjacent six-storey addition.
Response
With its mixture of historic and new architecture, brick and beam and glass with steel, this location is an ideal setting for the collaborative nature of innovation and invention. GloveBox offers an atmosphere where the traditional barriers between work, team building and celebration almost disappear. With over 145,000 square feet of commercial office space with ground-floor retail, the building acts as the cornerstone of a master plan that includes three residential condominium towers and a private pedestrian focused street. This project incorporates numerous sustainable design features including geo-thermal heat source a high efficiency HVAC, and a substantial vegetated “green” roof area.
