SUBMITTED PHOTO — A notable project for her sole proprietorship Catherine Nasmith Architect was the restoration of Alton Mill for Seaton Group, an adaptive reuse of a crumbling stone mill for arts purposes.
Successful campaigns Nasmith has been integrally involved with have included bids to strengthen the Ontario Heritage Act, tear down the East Gardiner, derail the Front Street extension over Fort York and preserve public sightlines to Queen’s Park. During a career in Canadian urbanism, Nasmith has spearheaded projects such as the adaptive reuse of the Alton Mill and prepared numerous heritage conservation studies for precincts such as Harbord Village, Port Dalhousie, Riverdale, Fort York and Madison Avenue.
“Certainly the idea of building and making lasting legacies for society and for the greater public is a really great thing, and I think Canada had its zenith in that regard in the centennial years,” she said. “A lot of the last 30 or 40 years we’ve been dealing with a culture where ‘less is less.’ “It actually provides a pretty great entrance to the city,” she said. “Driving towards the downtown, it’s really breathtaking, particularly at night and coming from the west.”
