Bold, solid, and coherent vs. Ill defined, flimsy, and incoherent.........the twins on one block and the twinge on the next.

This is a job for the best of the best if it is to be pulled off successfully. I have not seen one project by Toronto based architects in the last twenty years that could instill a high degree of confidence in complementing and/or augmenting this highly visible heritage gem (mild confidence in...

'The Ain't' is better suited. While they are at it why not change Tableau to Plateau, as it is becoming glaringly apparent that Wallman may have peaked and its best days are behind it. Luckily they knew it and moved their offices in. Nothing like self interest to prime the design pump.

29 floors of redemption.

More of AA's copy and paste, low cal swill. Lifeless. Shameless.

If the balconies don't save this exterior, I don't know what will. This is shaping up to be worst looking build this side of Square One. Daniels should be reminded once again that spandrel saturated 'blighthouses' do as much for curb side appeal as it does for the developer's reputation, no...

Impressive and solid looking project. Major points for North Drive and Richard Wengle in my books. https://northdrive.ca/Projects

Norm I have to say that your pictures are stunning. But I have such a visceral flinching reaction to legs dangling out of a helicopter at such great heights. I'm not suggesting you stop, I'm just saying with respect ... be safe. Look forward to more.

I'm not aware of any problems at Monde.

Interiors are another issue. Daniels Waterfront may very well surpass Monde on this front. As a purchaser personally this would be my priority and one would hope anyone laying down hundreds of thousands of dollars for a unit would be entering the contract with eyes wide open. My sympathies...

This is just about the worst advertisement for Daniels. Even Wallman was smart enough to put their offices in one of their best buildings (Tableau). Daniels on the other hand, preferring to save their best projects for places like Erin Mills, decides to include their head office in a project...

Toronto is suffering from chronic Menkegitis. It's spreading fast and it isn't going away. Unfortunately this opportunistic disease has found a willing host. Symptoms include dizziness, pessimism, headaches, eye sores and occasional nausea . If left untreated, highly visible areas of the...

A green plastic watering can For a fake Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself It wears her out It wears her out It wears her out It wears her out... -Fake Plastic Trees (Verse 1) - Radiohead (The...

Those curves though!;)

FYI - "Google’s smart city dream is turning into a privacy nightmare" https://www.engadget.com/2018/10/26/sidewalk-labs-ann-cavoukian-smart-city/

It looks like new lipstick on a low brow, tenderloin strip club. I'm sure the residents are thrilled. In light of this and Menkes' recent Toronto 'landmarks', 365 Church and 33 Eglinton one should feel enormous confidence in the inevitable cheapening and chiseling planned for Sugar Wharf. No...

Very nice.

Piano usually hits the right notes if he is given the chance. Subtle curved form and sense of place (either bold or complementary) is one thing they are good at.

If the city of Toronto is capable of creating an iconic city hall at one of its crossroads then the province is more than capable on this one occasion of affording to think outside of the box for what will debatably be one of the most visible provincial structures for anyone visiting Ontario...

P3 consortiums put up iconic public buildings all over the world. If there is an opportunity to do so in Toronto this is it. Infrastructure Ontario is not going the distance with a firm that is more than capable of creating a form that draws the eye, better complements city hall, further...
