Looking at this pic from the latest @flonicky by night series...........:
I am reminded how much I passionately dislike this overhang and the further worsening of same with a terrible lighting program.
This building actually looks decent at/above the second floor...........but that grade expression is a miserable fail. Why would you compound the error with a lighting program that draws attention to that fail from 400m away?
There's no way to properly fix this, and I doubt the condo corp will want to spend the $$$ to even try, but they really have to get rid of that lighting. Recess lights please, and turn down the lumin factor by at least 1/3!

I am truly confused by this detail. It bothers me so much I can't help but post about it. There's this tiny "frame" element around some storefront glass and it's supported by steel elements that are vastly oversized and surely undo any perceived visual benefit that the projecting window would have ever offered (given it projects 100mm at best.)
Doing residential work in Toronto, you need to know when to allow certain elements to bite the dust. This window that barely projects but needs to be constructed like that? Let it die. Put the money into some better lighting or glazing or something. Or FFS, better aluminum panels that don't have huge gaps and misalignments and oil-canning all over the damn place.
