M1 and M2
M1 and M2 are two residential towers built as part of a larger urban development in Mississauga, Canada. M1 has 61 storeys and 780 units, while M2 has 62 storeys and 793 units. Each tower is formed from seven typical floor plate shapes that are skewed and rotated, so the corners shift about one metre from the floor below. Short shear walls follow the shift, which keeps the room layouts regular. A faceted glass podium carries a green roof and a south facing outdoor amenity space at ground and roof level.
M1 and M2 Multi Residential House by Babak Eslahjou was identified as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. M1 and M2 Multi Residential House was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in Architecture, Building and Structure Design in 2025. The A' Architecture, Building and Structure Design Award is an international, juried, academic and meritocratic design accolade which rewards outstanding design of skyscrapers, museums, residential buildings, commercial complexes, educational institutions, religious structures, infrastructure designs, landscaping projects and more.
