“当我们开始在60大西洋工作时，我们意识到这座位于中心的建筑对自由村的混合用途社区的成功是多么的关键。虽然我们的简报一开始就渴望清理和揭露这种性质的砖和梁建筑所具有的潜在价值，但我们很快发现了一个机会，可以用一个城市设计的故事来增加最初的修复故事。

“When we began working on 60 Atlantic we realized how pivotal this centrally situated building is to the success of the mixed use neighbourhood emerging in Liberty Village. Although our brief began with an aspiration to clean up and expose the latent value that brick and beam buildings of this character possess, we quickly identified an opportunity to augment the initial story of restoration with a story of urban design.

我们将建筑评价为一系列的元素而不是一个对象，并建议挖掘地下室，以创造一个沉陷的庭院，从而增加现代流通，改善可达性，并为社会活动创造一个空间。看到完工的建筑物被占用，我们确认了我们的理解，即遗产的真正意义和价值不是恢复现有的砖块和灰泥，而是重新定位，赋予新的生命、新的相关性和对未来的有用性。“-四方建筑师校长理查德·维特

We evaluated the building as a series of elements rather than as one object, and proposed excavating the basement to create the sunken courtyard which adds contemporary circulation, improves accessibility and creates a space for social activity. Watching the completed building become occupied, we confirmed our understanding that the true meaning and value of heritage is not the restoration of existing bricks and mortar, but a repositioning which gives new life, new relevance and usefulness for the future.” - Richard Witt, Principal, Quadrangle Architects

“60大西洋是Hullmark的一个分水岭项目，因为它体现了我们对设计、城市增长和更新的新战略重点，主要是通过翻修特色建筑。我们与我们的顾问团队合作，开发了一种设计，为一栋本来会被拆除的建筑物带来新的生命，同时提供受欢迎的办公和零售空间，以满足该地区流行的新型经济类型租户的需要。

“60 Atlantic is a watershed project for Hullmark as it embodies our new strategic focus on design and urban growth and renewal, primarily through renovations of character buildings. Working collaboratively with our consultant team we developed a design that brought new life to a building that would have otherwise been demolished, while providing sought after office and retail space that caters to new economy type tenants prevalent in the area.

我们希望在此基础上与其他几个城市建立无缝结合的历史和当代建筑的对话，包括即将完工的商业和零售租赁物业在国王街西545号和宽视大道100号。“-杰夫赫尔，总裁，Hullmark发展有限公司。

We hope to build on that success with several other urban, building conversations that seamlessly integrate historic and contemporary architecture, including soon to be finished commercial and retail rental properties at 545 King Street West and 100 Broadview Avenue.” - Jeff Hull, President, Hullmark Developments Ltd
