An extraordinary prefab structure is being erected in downtown Toronto this week. The St Clare Multifaith Housing Society, which converted a medical building into housing for the poor and the formerly homeless, is adding two floors and doing it modern prefab, designed by Toronto's very talented Levitt Goodman Architects. Going prefab was supposed to minimize disruption and speed construction, as the building below is occupied. We will update with plans shortly, but in the meantime the show starts on the sidewalk at 25 Leonard Avenue.
