this looks even worse in person. What a shame too, it's such a lovely part of town, something really nice could've gone here.

I think it's taking shape quite nicely Lets judge it once it's finished !

The form is fine but that horizontally-banded siding is terrible.

From yesterday:

I'm not particularly fond of those grey metal panels, but the brickwork now being installed looks pretty snazzy:

This is looking really slick.

That siding is appalling.

 

[grey]

Yeah, I think we're seeing the pervasive idea that "a little brick goes a long way" (see also: The Berczy). Well, it doesn't.

 

[argus]

The horizontal cladding looks very "industrial park." Too bad because it otherwise mars an interesting building.

 

[TheKingEast]

blech! That siding hurts because I was really liking how this project was coming along. As someone else said..this is the Berczy effect.

 

[urbandreamer]

I guess I'll play the contrarian: although normally I find grey buildings utterly boring, this project does grey right. If I had my **** together and worked in a career I loved, and was still in my mid-twenties, I'd buy here. Love it. Very West Coast loft.

 

[junctionist]

It might work out well, particularly with the greenery proposed for the terraces. However, Torontonians tend to associate siding with cheapness.

These are from last week, so there may be more, but the first sign of vegetation has made an appearance on the upper floors.
