These buildings are starting to grow on me. This build is definitely not chic, however, it brings a much needed warmth to architecture in this city, and the heavy black framing is kinda playful.
In the grand scheme of things there's nothing too interesting about the exterior of this building. However, considering Toronto's obsession with the banal, this is a real winner for the city.
Totally agreed - that streetcar is desperately needed. But could you imagine if they started building that extension today? With all the current road closures, downtown would be in crisis mode!
While I love a fun and thoughtful colour palette - my first reaction is that these combinations sit so harshly against each other. But who knows - maybe they'll grow on me?
