2026-04-15 - this is going to be exquisite. Saw a CCxA hard hat on site today. Who is putting the magic touch on all these Tricon projects? John English, is that you?

2026-04-15 - I never ‘got’ the design of this and still don’t. The little garage hut on the north (left) property line is so out of scale with the new building behind, and the front door is sunken and buried between masses. I’m sure the interior spaces will be nice. Will be good to see this one...

Hello, I'm still under the threshold to create new threads. Could you please help? It's for 14 Eastern Ave, see photo (I will post more photos and info in thread). Thank you.

2026-04-09 - Branksome Hall iCAST construction tour: Pitch space from two angles. Seats ~80. Audio and video recording and broadcast studio. Acoustic tiling is in, so the room was eerily silent. Robotics construction and battle arena (foreground) and wood and metal shops (behind). Windows...

2026-04-09 Drab and inscrutable from Mt Pleasant, this building (known as the Athletics & Wellness Centre or AWC) is spectacular inside and deserves significant credit to MJMA. Here are some good photos and coverage: Tasaka, Rei. “A Well-Rounded Education: Branksome Hall Athletics &...

Today from David Balfour Park. It is quite massive for a contemporary tower although skinny compared to the 60s(?) slabs around it. The window/envelope system looks pretty good in material and quality but the design is not coherent. It being just slightly taller than the adjacent towers feels...

2026-04-11 - finally visible from David Balfour Park over the tops of 50 Rosehill Ave. (brown, foreground) and 40 Pleasant Blvd. (white, background)
