WaterClub at York and Queens Quay is Kirkor and it's not remotely similar.

Star of Downtown, The (Willowfield/Norstar, 12s, Kirkor) COMPLETE

Of course not, when you compare Star of Downtown (12s block) to Waterclub (3 x 37s towers).
Look at some of their low and mid-rise works such as the Parkview Towers (2 x 12s), Victoria Tower (12s), Galleria Tower (10s) and the aforementioned Gardens at Queen.
Point being that Kirkor will design anything for anyone, and that they are capable of much better than the Star of Downtown. It all comes down to the developer in this case.

I don't think Kirkor is the problem here, I think it depends more on how the builder's budge on individual projects ~
yes I agree Galleria Tower + Victoria Tower is similarly ugly as SoD:
but personally I am not in objection against Thornhill Towers, Parkview Towers, and Derby Tower also by Kirkor:

Love those ANOTHER SUCCESS STORY red slashes! Success in that they weren't stopped from being built, I guess ...
Given Kirkor's prodigious output, could the powers of "design review" not send a flying squad of A-list talent to their studio to mentor them, and protect the public from more of this? If they're not the sort of firm that links up with developers that require design excellence, and if they don't hold themselves to higher standards, someone ought to lend a hand.

Well its form and colours certainly fit the context of the neighbourhood.

I thought the group could use a bit of action, so I dug this one out from page 6.

My eyes! My eyes!!
Seriously, is that real brick or stucco that is painted to look like brick.
Either way, this is a true horror show.

That is.....incredible..
Just a couple homey touches to complete this scene.
Pehaps a beat up old car in the foregound, a few banged up metal gabage cans laying about and some clothlines with long underwear hanging.
Then it would be just perfect for a scene out of West Side Story.
