EVE Park is an innovative, 84 unit, all electric townhouse community under construction in West 5, London, Ontario. Designed by Gensler and Studio Dror for developer s2e Technologies, the development features four striking circular “helix” buildings clustered around park-like courtyards, eliminating conventional driveways and surface parking.

Each building includes an automated vertical parking tower with built-in EV charging—stacking up to 14 vehicles each—freeing up space for gardens, walking trails, an orchard, and communal perennial landscapes. Powered by rooftop solar panels connected to a resident-owned microgrid, EVE Park achieves net zero energy, exporting surplus electricity to offset utility costs. Its units range from 740 ft² to over 2,200 ft² and include sustainable finishes, smart appliances, triple pane windows, heat pumps, and energy recovery ventilators for improved air quality.

Recognized by CNN as one of “10 architectural projects set to shape the world in 2024,” EVE Park pioneers a fresh model of sustainable, community-centered living in London, Ontario

EVE Park's structural design presented unique challenges due to its unconventional circular building footprints and automated vertical parking towers. The four helix-shaped residential buildings required a radial structural grid and innovative framing solutions to accommodate curved exterior walls, large window openings, and open-plan interiors. Structural engineers had to ensure lateral stability while minimizing internal shear walls to maintain architectural intent. The automated parking towers posed additional challenges, demanding precise coordination between structural, mechanical, and automation systems. Foundations were designed to support both the residential structures and the concentrated loads of the vertical car stackers, all while integrating with a net zero energy infrastructure.
