Aqualuna is an AZURE Awards 2026 finalist!

Posted May 4, 2026

We’re proud to have been the landscape architect for this striking 16-storey waterfront residence in Toronto’s Bayside neighbourhood, designed by 3XN with Kirkor Architects for Hines and Tridel.

Inspired by Lake Ontario, the building’s cascading terraces reference waves while its two towers direct all views towards the water.

Our scope included streetscapes, biodiverse green roofs with a custom wildflower mix, private terraces, and a shared sixth-floor podium amenity terrace featuring an outdoor swimming pool, raised planters, and lounging and dining/BBQ areas. The terrace’s warm wood decking is inlaid with a white marble band that traces the building’s curved geometry and is complemented by native, drought-tolerant planting suited to the waterfront environment.

The project is LEED® Platinum certified and met Tier 2 of the Toronto Green Standard.
