Impeccable Design

Fleur’s design, much like its surrounding area, also seeks to represent the best of everything.From distinctive architecture, to elegant interior designs, Menkes has turned to the industry’s most creative consultants to create a residential community without parallel.

Designed by the talented team at architectsAlliance, the building’s exterior form features a distinctive three-storey glass and stone podium. Taking cues from the richness and history of the surrounding streetscape, the architects have incorporated a stone element in the base of the building that echoes the monolithic stone of the neighbourhood’s nearby cathedrals, including St. Michael’s Cathedral across the street.

Rising from the podium is a 28-storey glass tower that subtly pulls away from the corner of Church and Shuter. The sleek design of the tower with different setbacks and angles along each exposure of the building combine to create a striking silhouette on the city skyline.

Inside the building, a subtle garden theme welcomes you. The Design Agency, one of Canada’s most celebrated interior design teams has taken a thoughtful approach. From the moment you set foot in the building, elegance surrounds you. Fleur’s lobby incorporates a variety of textures, materials and furnishings,including a grand chandelier and floral tapestries to create a warm and inviting sense of home. The design throughout the building is both cozy and modern, managing to create an impression that is at once understated, while being distinctively fashion forward.

Each suite at Fleur includes a chef-inspired kitchen design that is both open and bright.Designed to appeal to every resident’s inner-foodie, the kitchen is driven by its details including: unique custom-designed cabinetry and pantry, soft-close drawers, and panel front appliances to match cabinets and give the kitchen a sleek modern look.

The living and dining areas within the suites offer a sophisticated lifestyle of comfort and impeccable design. All suites come with brand-name stainless steel appliances including in-suite laundry. The building offers a variety of suite layouts to choose from including one- two- and three-bedroom-plus-den layouts. Regardless of layout or size, each unit boasts beautiful and thoughtfully-considered spaces, created with comfort and energy efficiency in mind.

The elegance and attention to detail in the kitchen and living areas have been carried into the bathroom(s), each which boast a range of rich materials and luxurious finishes including custom-designed marble vanities.
