Project Overview

SkyRise Prefab Building Solutions engineered, manufactured, and installed 17,000 sq.ft. of StoPanel Classic NExT ci panels for a mixed-used, midrise building with Sto Ecoshapes® Vintage, a prefabricated brick shape, and StoSignatureTM Stone, a customised finish.

Job Requirements

The design intent was to match the look and feel of the heritage brick facades on nearby historical buildings. Large windows with very little panel surface area created unusual design challenges. Installation in the middle of a residential neighbourhood, with no scaffolding, in the depth of a Canadian winter, added to the challenges of this unique project.

Smart Solution

SkyRise Prefab Building Solutions levered the benefits of lightweight StoPanel Classic NExT ci and Sto EcoShapes Vintage to accommodate large windows that offered no room to support a heavy brick wall. They accomplished this without compromising the aesthetic appeal Nick Swerdfeger Architects carefully designed into the building. The design team and local community were further delighted by speed of installation, high thermal efficiency and cost effectiveness the SkyRise team brought to this project.

Project Overview

The B-Line condominium in Toronto stands out for its stunning design and unique finishes. The project presented several challenges, including the need for continuous insulation, complex design with multiple finishes, and a constricted job site. SkyRise Prefab’s StoPanel Classic NExT ci panel system, combined with Sto’s customisable finish surfaces, provided the ideal solution – satisfying the client’s requirements and adding impact to a great architectural building.

Job Requirements

The entire project focused on a continuous insulation solution to ensure premium comfort and efficiency for the condo residents in Toronto’s harsh climate. However, the restricted job site made field-applied work impossible, making prefabricated panels the only viable option. SkyRise Prefab’s premium products met the city’s approvals but also offered the convenience of installation within the available limited space.

Smart Solution

SkyRise Prefab’s innovative approach to the B-Line project included introducing newly available Sto finish layer options, such as StoCast Wood and StoCast Brick, which had not been used in North America before. To showcase these finishes to the client, a trip to Europe was organised, allowing them to appreciate the products on buildings firsthand. Despite the project’s complexity and challenging installation logistics, SkyRise Prefab’s meticulous planning and execution with the StoPanel system resulted in significant time savings and a unique building which has become a testament to their capabilities.

Project Overview

SkyRise Prefab Building Solutions engineered, manufactured, and installed 75,813 sq.ft. of StoPanel Classic NExT ci panels on this St. Catharines, Ontario affordable housing project.

Job Requirements

Pennterra Group wanted to bring comfort, style and sustainability to a project that faced strict cost limits. Investments in eco-friendly features such as geothermal heating had to provide maximum return on investment. And the simplified structure had to be durable, long-lasting and look great.

Smart Solution

SkyRise created a thermally efficient building enclosure by using 3” GPS continuous insulation, maximising thermal efficiency. When unexpected ground conditions delayed foundation installation, SkyRise was able to compress the building enclosure schedule. For visual appeal, Stolit® finishes were combined with Sto EcoShapes® Vintage. The result is an eco-friendly building, completed on schedule, that tenants can be comfortable and proud to live in.
