Title
Recent Trends in Highrise Multiple House with Special Reference to the Rockhill Apartments, Montreal
Abstract
The author notes that there are various types of ownership, financing, forms, functions and facilities of high-rise multiple housing. There exist arguments regarding the maximum height, and suitability of high-rise living. The author examines Montreal’s RochHill Towers, which he asserts reflects some aspects of contemporary trends (built between 1966 and 1968) in high-rise apartment design. The RockHill Towers are located on chemin de la Côte-des-Neiges, a short distance south of Queen Mary Road. The towers were designed by Menkes and Webb. The author contends that the RockHill Towers presented a challenge to the fast suburban sprawl of North American cities.
