Detail de l enjeu
Perte d ensoleillement
Un immeuble plus haut projetterait des ombres plus longues sur les maisons, les cours et les trottoirs utilises chaque jour.
La lumiere du matin et de l apres-midi compte sur une rue residentielle. Elle influence l usage des pieces avant, des jardins et des espaces exterieurs partages.
La tour proposee creerait une empreinte d ombrage beaucoup plus importante que celle des immeubles voisins. Cela reduirait la lumiere naturelle dans les maisons et sur les trottoirs ou les voisins se rencontrent, ou les enfants jouent et ou les gens circulent tout au long de l annee.
Pourquoi c est important
- Moins de lumiere naturelle diminue le confort quotidien des maisons voisines.
- Des trottoirs plus ombrages paraissent plus froids, moins accueillants et moins securitaires hors ete.
- Une perte permanente d ensoleillement est difficile a corriger apres la construction.
Ce que le promoteur affirme
L enonce suivant est tire du Memoire sur l urbanisme depose par le promoteur. La reponse proposee au contexte residentiel de la rue Alesther est structuree en trois « mesures ».
Mesure 1 – Retrecissement vers Alesther
Alesther St. is primarily composed of 2 storey homes, the heights and density of which help inform the west-facing portions of the proposed building's massing. This section features a descending design starting from a 9 storey podium section at the base of the tower, which proceeds to step down to 4 storeys as it nears the western edge of the lot, terminating with a soft landscape buffer between the 4-storey podium and the residential properties along Alesther.
This gradual reduction in height, accentuated by a sequence of setbacks, helps the building transition from the high-rise 30-story tower at the eastern section of the lot to the lower residential context towards the west.
Mesure 2 – Alignement du podium sur St. Laurent
The 6-storey podium along the eastern side of the podium allows provides a less imposing mass on the surrounding streetscape and is in keeping with the zoning requirements for the area. This anchors the building firmly within the current and anticipated developments along St. Laurent Boulevard.
Mesure 3 – Rez-de-chaussee ouvert
At the ground level, the project features retail spaces with a clear height of 4.5 meters, enhancing the openness at street level. This elevated design choice clearly defines the building's base and encourages street interaction, bolstering the active commercial presence along St. Laurent.
This ensures the new building integrates with the community and enhances the existing urban landscape, carefully balancing its prominent stature with the established scale and character of the area.
