Just so you know, @Northern Light, the old AIC doesn't link here like the new one. Folks need to sign in using the general link, then search the specific address there.

Yup, I know, I tested that.

But the link wasn't available in the contemporary AIC at the time of posting.

Something better than nothing, LOL

The City has never done that for this type of massing form. Its very specific to the way the massing works and would not apply to a conventional 'square'.

very curious on this, do you have sources examples of them not classifying it like this - whats the reference in the guidelines? - because i'm not sure i've seen that.

I am treating the contiguous tower floorplate(s) as one 1,204 sq m block even though they are slightly off-set.

They're not. The floorplate is 795 sq m at the top of the shorter massing, and 409 sq m in the taller massing only above that elevation. Those are measurements taken at different points in the same tower, otherwise it would say 795 + 409.
 
TCHC says aA is the lead architect on this @Paclo

They are not just Architect of Record though. They are the design architect too, with support from Alison Brooks.

Lets consult the Arch Drawings:

No Planning Letter; but abbreviated version within Cover Letter.

CL refers to both firms without distinguishing roles.

I will say, the design language reads more Brooks to me; but a_A have been known to surprise from time to time.
 
It's a collaboration of two firms, both designing the building.

a—A is the Architect of Record, because they are the local architect. An AoR can be a firm who comes onboard to execute the project and is not involved in as much "design" decision-making, but an Architect of Record can also a co-designer, such as the case here. They are not mutually exclusive.

This is exactly the situation here.
