Yep.The whole area around there.

I just hope the green stays GREEN & the copper stays COPPER and DON’T turn into god awful GREY. :mad:… But the whole of Dawes Road, off of Danforth needs a massive revitalization. Looks like a deserted dump.

OneSky by PMA Landscape architects & SLA absolutely stands out compared to the rest. What a big city park looks like. Looks like the excellent NYC & London UK designed parks. Very busy but relaxing w warm charming sightlines. Looks like a few parks in one. Not so open~some privacy added. Lots of...

Maybe. But they could have done both. High quality materials & some colour -gold amber copper‘y hues. Change it up.

IDK, I know to never trust a rendering, or a pic with filters but that gold hue (most recent draft) turned into grey real fast & l’m not down w that. Grey in city is my biggest pet peeve. ESPECIALLY when following other architectural projects in cities like Chi, London, NYC, Boston, Montreal...

Grrrrr. Aren’t they? Lol.

Oh, is rectangular blue-grey in Toronto considered prominent now? It’s so average for a new build.

Nothing worse for a city‘s skyline than having a new building look like it’s been there for 20 yrs. And not in a good way. Same old colour scheme. Generic & dull. Nothing special. Does not enhance or compliment heritage building. So disappointing, especially from Hariri Pontarini who usually do...

This is not “ugly“ at all. It has vibrant colour. Not abother boring rectangular grey blue structure-I’ll take it.The vertical stripes stand out. I like them. Shame it’s only 37 floors.

What a loss. Gutted. Hopefully he worked closely with other great landscape architects who can continue his inspiring excellence. The cities of Montreal & Toronto owe him so much.

It doesn’t seem hard at all to build attractive slick structures like this Wallman+Times Gp. project at 65 Broadway. As opposed to that chaotic jumbled awkward mess of 75 Broadway ave. by Hazelview+WZMH

Haha.

Agree!! It’s the most ridiculous Toronto thing. Negligent planning & policy and def not a priority. The absolute lack of aesthetic charm that city staff & planners put out onto the streetscapes, to help create beautiful spaces is clearly evident. Planters. Garden beds. Permanent Art...

It looks different to me from what I can recall. Some earlier design pics aren’t all here or I can’t find them. Different angles of design maybe? Not quite sure what’s separate from Therme space & other parks & spaces connecting? I just don’t remember or like the all grey pavement.

Could be a good looking building. Why is it all grey? Hope that changes, There are REASONS why people say the colour GREY should be banned in Toronto. Clue In. Didn‘t mind the initial renderings~looked better.

The renderings look great? Lol. No they don’t. The previous plan of the beach part was so much better. That’s regressed terribly. It’s all dull grey pavement & pathways overwhelming everything. Previous plan of different coloured pavers & slabs on pathways was actually nice. More earthy...

Maybe. But rules & panels can change. If the DRP consists mostly of high regarded architects, urban designers & landscape arch. in the city then I’ll go with their critique 90% of the time~ over some cost cutting developer & city councillor. You know, It’s just the city’s architectural...

That’s ridiculous. Then why even have that panel?

That front blue/white striped generic office facade ruins this promising building. The Design Review Panel needs an overhaul if they approved this. New progressive mayor = new panel w high quality taste.

City could do so much more‼️ The lack of innovation & creativity with Toronto city staff regarding creating grand public spaces in downtown core, is astonishingly lacking .. comparatively : Montreal, Chi, London .. Longtime Toronto Parks head is moving on so maybe that spurs on ambitious changes.
