Just a few years after it undertook a net-zero retrofit of its Toronto headquarters, the Ontario Association of Architects (OAA) intends to transform the property landscaping.

Overlooking a ravine near the Don River, the headquarters at 111 Moatfield Dr. is going to be converted into a “more sustainable, accessible, artful and welcoming space.”

That’s the description the OAA is using in announcing the jury-selected winner of its landscape design competition.

Launched in March, the competition challenged competitors to reimagine the terrain of the OAA headquarters as a symbol of design innovation, environmental sustainability and active community involvement. There were 19 submissions from inter-disciplinary teams.

The winning design team, Team Chestnut, was recently chosen for its proposal, the Grounding Meadow.
