Toronto Tableau Condominiums | 124.05m | 36s | Urban Capital | Wallman Architects

I'm not a fan of the mechanical penthouse on this building. It lacks architectural detail and looks like a utilitarian afterthought.

I like its authentic utilitarian look. I think it suits the tower. I'm not a big fan of wrap around balconies with integrated full floor penthouses which stems from my dislike of top heavy designs.

Looks like they are preparing to install the art piece.

 

[Armour]

Perhaps a more interesting public art piece could use those tubes as wire markers/guards for a massive wooden hydro pole?

When I was a kid, whenever I saw these they always reminded me of McDonald's french fries.

OMG so excited I have been waiting for this!

 

[Miscreant]

Oh man, that colour will contrast really sharply against the matte black. I'm looking forward to this.

 

[argus]

I walked by the site today. There appeared to be a number of dents and scratches on the poles. Hopefully they will be addressed before final installation.

The art piece will probably be the highlight of this project given its scale. I can't wait to see this, its going to make this corner so interesting.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

From Wednesday morning, not much change. Just prepping them.

The neon quality of the colour is a nice surprise and looks great with the black composite panels of the podium. Can't wait to see it go up as the public art Shayne Dark contributed to the X condo projects are favourites of mine.

Hmm...NYC flattery? Recently approved in Jersey City:

Morris Adjmi Architects designed that? Do they employ an associate architect named Wallman who actually does the work?

[innsertnamehere]

Well technically New Jersey flattery.. but yea, that one is eerily similar.

 

[modernizt]

Wow, even the floorplate looks to have a similar shape. Flattery indeed! Happens all the time in architecture, but this time it's particularly uncanny.

Imagine if that was a pic of Dundas Square looking at Velocity.

Imagine if that was a pic of Dundas Square looking at Velocity.

I was going to say it looks like they took Tableau and put it at Y-D Square.
