About the building:
Ventana is not the typical square or rectilinear structure one generally associates with residential mid-rises. Instead, IBI/HB Architects have taken the "box' out of the design and have provided a gently curved facade facing the water with slightly tapered sides forming a partial wedge shape that does not complete to a point. Rather, a narrower flat facade faces West 2nd street. This structural configuration lends to some interesting floor layouts within the building giving relief from more traditional square and rectangular constructs.
Built in 2008, Ventana consists of 82 suites in the tower section footed by 12 town-homes. Floor to ceiling windows allow ample natural light from all directions and suites feature balconies and patios. Landscaped grounds surround the town-homes providing a green sanctuary for residents of Ventana and its neighbours. The town-homes have a three coloured brick facade theme, using white, a light rose and a bluish-gray sectional pattern. The tower itself, has a mostly glass curtain with vertical white concrete accents which highlight structure and apartment spacing. Some of the bluish-gray colour scheme has been carried into the tower unifying the entire project.
