Yesterday we spoke with Don Schmitt of Diamond + Schmitt Architects about The AvenDale condominium by Minto. Today, we take a closer look at The AvenDale's scale model and Brian Glukstein-designed sales centre. We also debut The AvenDale's dataBase entry.
An overview of The AvenDale's well-appointed sales centre.
Below are Gluckstein's examples of what various rooms might look like in suites at The AvenDale.
Now, on to the scale model.
We start with the same angle depicted in the render. The AvenDale from the northwest.

Drawing back, let's get a high-angle shot of The AvenDale's northwest face and uppermost private terraces.
Moving counter-clockwise, here's The AvenDale's west face. The pinwheel design and differing balcony heights described by Don Schmitt are evident in this shot.
Continuing counter-clockwise, here's The AvenDale from the southwest.
The AvenDale's southeast corner. The shape of Diamond + Schmitt's original 'Minto Lonsdale' competition design are most evident on this elevation.
The AvenDale as it meets Avenue Road. The AvenDale Club's outdoor lounge, garden patio, and sun tan area are shielded from the street by landscaped privacy screens. Above, the building's wings define the corner and reaffirm the pin-wheel concept underlying The AvenDale's design.
