Project Description

Balcony Envelope Restoration

49 Henry Lane Terrace in Toronto is low-rise multi-unit residential building. The floor slabs extend beyond the building envelope to form balcony slabs. Balustrades are provided at the outside edge of the balconies. The balcony balustrades are masonry construction- brick masonry. In the summer of 2001 restoration of the North elevation of the building located at 49 Henry Lane Terrace, known as well as St. Michael School (two ground floors) due to existing conditions was required.
