Explore life at the Evergreen on Blackburn.
With premium, carefully selected materials and design choices that reflect the history of its surroundings, The Evergreen blends seamlessly into the neighbourhood while simultaneously providing an outstanding lifestyle experience.
Built better for you. Built better for the planet.
The building incorporates the allsaints event space, itself a model of community preservation. Housed within the former All Saints church, a coffee shop, bakery, events space and fine dining restaurant are all within easy reach, connected to The Evergreen.
Architecturally, The Evergreen’s design blends the neighborhood’s Victorian and Queen Anne architecture with a contemporary touch. Its lower floors complement the surrounding stately homes, while the upper levels introduce a lighter, modern aesthetic.
Traditional brickwork and thoughtful massing ensure harmony with the streetscape, avoiding overpowering neighbouring properties. A lush green roof encircling the terrace reduces the heat island effect, further minimizing the building’s environmental impact.
Collectively, these design choices achieve LEED Platinum and One Planet Living Standards — far exceeding basic building code requirements.
Timeless craftsmanship.
The facade of the building evokes the natural, warm tones of the limestone that was used to build the historic All Saints church. Coloured glass elements bring to mind stained glass windows.
Overlooking the church, the metal work on the balconies give a nod to the detailed mullion work and window frames of the original building.
Elements of the original Bate Hall are also incorporated, including wood from the church pews and stone from the facade. The lobby lounge surrounds the existing apse of the church, resulting in incredibly high, airy ceilings nearly 30 feet tall with a full reveal to Laurier Avenue and Blackburn.
Blending European-inspired preservation with modern sustainability, The Evergreen harmonizes with its historic surroundings while embracing cutting-edge building practices.
