Material-wise, yes; but virtually no imagination in terms of design. They really pushed the envelope with Ice, though.

The architects don't typically choose the final materials.

^They most certainly do.

Don't make me say it.....

But this will cast a shadow on Jesse Ketchum Park.

It may - but if prexisting buildings already cast a shadow on JKP at the same time, it may get off the hook on that front anyways.

Plus, if I have my alignment correct (and acknowledging I'm not a shadow study expert), the Foster building (if approved in its current form) may be the recipient of shadows from this building-to-be, thus mitigating any shadowing effect on JK.

Very curious to see images, sounds like it will be a sliver. The property is pretty small and if its 26,213 m2 in total thats less than 445 m2 a floor at most. 3 ish units a floor?

Bay and Scollard had a very nice proposal, now hoping this follows suit.

I like the simple design but I think I might find it too tall.

Don't like the bowl planter though, neat idea but I think people ought to be able to interact with the trees in such a small space.
