IPM was approached by Toronto Hydro, in collaboration with the Downtown Yonge BIA, to coordinate the provision of a secure parking area for staff at their historical location at 14 Carlton Street. Toronto Hydro wanted an enclosure that was a piece of art and a feast for the eyes while serving the dual purpose of chronicling the 100+ year history of this prestigious corporation.
