Ottawa – Ottawa’s hottest urban designs were in the spotlight tonight as the City hosted the sixth edition of the Ottawa Urban Design Awards.
Mayor Jim Watson and Councillor Jan Harder, Chair of the City’s Planning Committee, were on hand to honour recipients in a ceremony at Lansdowne Park’s historic Horticulture Building. Focusing on exceptional projects built between September 1, 2013 and September 1, 2015, the awards recognized the work of designers, planners, architects, engineers, developers, builders, students and artists.
“An investment in urban design is an investment in our city,” said Mayor Watson. “Recognizing the value of good design through these awards helps inspire designers to continue to put forward their most creative ideas, and with that vision, we continue to work together to build the best possible Ottawa.”
A jury of four independent experts assessed submissions in five categories, bestowing an Award of Excellence in each. In addition, the jury selected projects in each category to receive an Award of Merit.
The five categories are:
Projects that received an Award of Excellence will represent Ottawa in competition for the 2016 Royal Architectural Institute of Canada’s Urban Design Awards program.
“While these awards are held only once every two years, the incredible value that strong urban design offers the people of Ottawa is realized every day,” said Councillor Jan Harder, Chair of the City’s Planning Committee. “It affects the beauty and livability of our capital city.”

Jury rationale for 2015 Ottawa Urban Design Awards of Excellence and of Merit
Awards of Excellence
Sir John A. Macdonald Building
Category: Urban Infill (low-rise)
The former Bank of Montreal (a federally recognized heritage building) as well as an adjacent empty lot to the west has been transformed into a new facility for the House of Commons to house parliamentary functions. The design for the infill and renovation restored the somewhat dilapidated former bank to its original glory and filled in the adjacent empty lot with a contemporary insertion.
Art of Rock Balance Sculpture
Category: Public Places and Civic Spaces
Located on the shores of the Ottawa River at Remic Rapids Park, the Rock Balance Sculptures provide a free participatory, exploratory art experience for the general public. People can walk among the semi-abstract sculptures situated along the rock flats at the river’s edge. They are built in harmony with their spectacular natural setting. The site attracts Ottawa’s residents from many cultures, drawing them in with its social and aesthetic presence and contemplative atmosphere.
Blanding’s Turtles of the South March Highlands
Category: Urban Elements
One of the artist’s objectives was to create something fun and interactive for the kids and adults who frequent the Beaverbrook Branch of the Ottawa Public Library and the adjacent recreation centre. According to the librarian and custodial staff, the turtles are continually “crawling with kids.” It is the rare child who enters the Library without at least touching, petting, climbing onto or otherwise engaging with the sculptures, both on their way into the library and on their way out. The local high school kids have their favourite turtles on which to perch and eat lunch.
Lansdowne Urban Park and Public Realm
Category: Visions and Master Plans
Lansdowne Park was conceived of as a constellation of spaces from intimate to grand in scale, all prepared as flexible venues for everyday enjoyment by local residents and a diverse year-round program of special events, returning the park to its rich continuum of exhibition, display, and recreation. Since the park’s re-opening, the life regenerated in this area has been remarkable.
6 Homes for Canadians
Category: Student Project
The new ‘6 Homes for Canadians’ creates an inner block laneway that showcases the six different households represented in the 2011 Canadian Census. Physically, the houses are raised and connected to respond to the struggle with Canadian weather and represent the community relationships founded within the suburb 60 years before.
Awards of Merit
Springfield Towns
Category: Urban Infill (low-rise)
Springfield is a collection of modern town homes in the Lindenlea neighbourhood in Ottawa. The three units share a consistent, simple, contemporary form and respect the massing, material and context of the neighbours. Parking at the back off the side street ensures an attractive front and pedestrian-friendly streetscape in this established neighbourhood.
James Michael Flaherty Building
Category: Urban Infill (mid- to high-rise)
The building is organized in two volumes with a lower eight-storey pavilion fronting Elgin Street and a 17-storey tower behind that addresses the high‐rise condition of the downtown core. The massing, expression and proportions of 90 Elgin Street integrate with both the urban condition on Confederation Boulevard and the higher built form of Ottawa’s central business district. Significantly, 90 Elgin follows the precepts of the Greber Plan by providing a symmetrical composition for the termination of views along the MacKenzie King Bridge. In so doing, it anchors the backdrop to a future National Monument on the MacKenzie King Bridge triangle at Elgin Street.
The Vibe
Category: Urban Infill (mid- to high-rise)
The Vibe contributes to the presence of the redeveloped Lansdowne while respecting the fabric of the neighbourhood and reinforcing uniqueness within the city. The master plan strives to capture the character of the surrounding neighbourhood, which was a key element in the building’s resolution. The corner tower element is dressed in glass and metal fins. Projecting cubes, staggered balconies and windows provide interest and identity for the building.
Winston Square
Category: Public Places and Civic Spaces
Winston Square is the new outdoor "living room" of Westboro. Located at the intersection of Winston Avenue and Richmond Road, and dovetailed between the Royal Canadian Legion, Dairy Queen and The Piggy Market, this dead-end street has been transformed into a new public place. The Square is defined by free-standing metal walls, clad in foliage. The wall shapes are inspired by the outlines of existing houses and rooflines found along Winston Avenue. Winston Square is a versatile and fun people place with abundant programming and entertainment potential for all ages and in all seasons.
TD Place Stadium – The Veil
Category: Urban Elements
The design of the TD Place Stadium drastically departs from the traditional notion that a stadium is an inert building and, instead, takes on a position that architecture is a temporal and dynamic event-based art in which people and built form intersect. The new south stands were conceived of as emerging from the park. That is perhaps most evident in The Veil, which serves not only as the stadium’s signature element, but also as a beacon that draws in visitors from its surroundings.
Rideau/Arts Precinct Public Realm Plan
Category: Visions and Master Plans
Ottawa’s Rideau/Arts Precinct is an area of the downtown undergoing enormous change due to several coinciding projects, including Ottawa's Confederation Line construction, the revitalization of the Rideau Shopping Centre, the Ottawa Art Gallery Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment, the Shaw Centre, continuous investment on the University of Ottawa campus, and ongoing residential and commercial development. The public realm plan proposes a high quality, urban streetscape consistent with the precinct's critical role as a zone of connectivity between some of Ottawa's most important destinations.
University of Ottawa Campus Master Plan
Category: Visions and Master Plans
The University of Ottawa holds a prominent place, nationally and internationally, as one of Canada’s leading universities. Located in the heart of downtown Ottawa, it is a key contributor to the City’s economy, culture and quality of life. The Master Plan will guide the evolution of the campus by providing a framework for the development of buildings, open spaces and infrastructure to create an inviting and memorable space. By creating complete community hubs with a range of amenities and open spaces, the plan promotes a sense of attachment to the campus as a place not only to attend classes, but to stay and socialize, eat, sleep, study, attend sporting events or enjoy art and culture.
Milieu
Category: Student Project
Milieu is a social and data-driven software application that democratizes city planning and development. Milieu expands opportunities for public engagement, and fosters urban transformation that will help tackle the challenges that cities face by producing better urban and architectural products.
