I like how they build on top of the existing buildings without demolishing.

I didn't notice this was mass timber, nice.

I like the canyon effect this creates with its concave neighbour.

There shouldn't be any driveway along the river, it should be pedestrian only and landscaped from building to riverbank.

The last photos show that the new curved glass will also complement the angled glass of the Toronto Professional Building. Another reason it should be heritage designated and preserved..

Nice pops of colour with green up to the treeline then blue for the sky.

There was another house? It wasn't just the one near the Grange Park that got replaced by condos?

I like the parapet on the taller one. Makes it feel New Formalist.

"We got Habitat 67 at home"

It looks so much like IKEA that I forgot about the uni's colours. The blue worked on the Student Learning Center because it sort of blends with the sky looking up, but here it's just an assault on the streetscape.

Seems to want to relate to the Bond Place Hotel. I kind of like that building but not the non-original ground floor panelling. They really should restore and integrate the existing brick buildings. Another example of why even insignificant older buildings should be preserved. No human scale...

Street level looks pretty good. Nice scale.

Toronto's not a museum city, they do layers of history here with new additions complementing old structures. Considering how dreary and car-centric the outskirts are, any housing densification in the downtown center while preserving the most important heritage aspects is welcome.

Type of ass to say "my kId cOuLd dO tHaT" when he sees any abstract painting

The corners look ok to me. Doesn't look like they could have been done any other way with this pattern? Aside from the gaps, wish the edges could have been welded to the front piece.
