Emergency responders are not happy with skipped floors as it can complicate their work. It's all about catering to superstitions.

Ah. That does make sense. Thank you for the explanation!

 

[ProjectEnd]

honestly why does it matter... it's not like the floor number corresponds to anything of substance...
i vote we go with a hexadecimal system!!!

Oh, like that's going to solve anything!

Thanks for posting Enrigue ^

I’m impressed with what has been shown thus far. Though renders can always be deceiving, texturally this looks distinctly different that other curtain wall facades we’ve seen. That second render in particular looks more in line with something you might see in Melbourne, it’s got more of an international flare to it - if that makes any sense. I like it.

From there - the podium

Something about that last image feels very Central Hong Kong to me.

Is Cresford now 'the big boys on the block??... with this, YSL, Halo, Clover, and the already built Casa's, etc.

 

[innsertnamehere]

Cresford seems to be on a streak of buying up existing approvals from Kingsett and actually building them with a new architect (aA). YSL, Halo, 33 Yorkville, etc. Clover was purchased after approval as well, just not from Kingsett.

All of those except YSL were approved projects when Cresford became involved.

Got our hands on the high res renderings. Floor plans will be uploaded shortly at the following link:

about as plain jane as it gets. At least it'll be curtain wall. I still find the massing to be extremely clunky - albeit that is a legacy of Wallman's design, not aA.

aA worked with a similar massing for Yonge and Rich - and I find that one to be a much better design. This one has absolutely no interest or sense to it.

 

[Ramako]

I don't think this design could be any less interesting.

So how does a building with that amount of curtain wall, not that I'm complaining about its presence, jive with the new 40% max vision glass requirement in the province?

 

[innsertnamehere]

curtain wall is exempted from that provision, if I recall correctly.

 

[interchange42]

Curtain wall has better thermal performance than window wall.
