3.5 Shadow Analysis The site plan for Roundhouse has been developed taking into account the travel path of the sun. As much of the new building massing is located to the south of the Roundhouse buildings, with separation from these important heritage buildings, new building forms must remain slim in profile to maximize the extent of sun penetration into the public spaces to the north. The building massing concept for Roundhouse was developed through a comprehensive analysis of the shadow studies to ensure sunlight penetration into the public spaces during high use times and when sun exposure is important to offset cooler temperatures. The Turntable Plaza, in particular, is most important as a place for people gathering to enjoy outdoor activities. • The overall massing and height of the Roundhouse development shall ensure that the Turntable Plaza has sun exposure during Spring and Fall equinoxes during high use times at mid-day , as shown in the adjacent diagrams. • It is intended that public seating, including both permanent and movable seating, will occur around the edges of this space. The shadow analysis diagrams prepared for the development indicate that sun will fall into these edge zones at all times of the year if the towers to the south are configured as demonstrated in the conceptual site plan for the project. • Any adjacent structures or additions to the Car Shop building will be designed to allow sufficient sun exposure in the portion of the Turntable Plaza adjacent to the south facade of the Car Shop, while being respectful of the heritage buildings. • The design of the residential buildings south of the E&N rail line must be spaced as far apart as possible and remain slim in profile in their east-west axis. The minimum dimension between towers is approximately thirty metres (30 m). R O U N D H O U S E D E S I G N G U I D E L I N E S J u l y 2 0 0 8
