I'm on the fence about this one. The glass curtain lets the heritage building stay prominent, but its proportions still look awkward.

Did they really need superkül for this? It's pretty unremarkable. None of the engineering is expressed visually, like any kind of structural work and the like. Nothing's going on with the glazing either. No interesting frit. Nada. "Employment on the Avenues" aside--and I doubt we're going to see independent artists and community activists locating here--it's kind of a nothingburger.

This was a good start and what I'd expect from superkül. Alas...

This is quite a downgrade from the original proposal. I understand the need for increased density, but we have to do better than this.

Actually meant "we".

You've had a madman councillor that has been constantly picking on this, how do you expect after 7 years ' a good design'?
..sorry to say, everything the guy has touched has been watered down to nothing

I wouldn't be surprised if all that blank glass is there because the planning department told the developer that the part up top wasn't sufficiently subservient to the heritage down below.
