Vent?

 

[Collingwoodbuildinglover]

Yeah talk about terrible positioning literally will break up the exterior of the entire building

Prob one of the most unfortunate and shoot yourself-in-the-foot decisions they could’ve made.sad

 

[MJS]

Yikes, that doesn’t looks so good. At least it’s on the back side? Lol

...it's at least an unfortunate blemish that will draw everyone's attention to. Kinda like a bird's dropping on an evening gown. >.<

 

[Parkdalian]

If this vent is required because of the gas stoves in the building … LOL

 

[artemperederii]

It's a little confusing, but I wouldn't say it looks too bad, also it's only on the back side

 

[officedweller]

Would have looked better if it were a whole row of vents across the whole floor.

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

...plenty of opportunities to hide it up top. And three different tops to choose from.

 

[MJS]

I feel like they would have placed it somewhere else if they could, I'm guessing it was not possible. It doesn't take an architect or engineer to realize how out of place it looks.

...the thing is though, the first top is nearly on level with the placement of that vent. So if it was an issue which floor they needed to place that on, the work around was on the other side of the tower.

To be clear though, I am no architect or engineer here...so I could be way out of my league in stating any of this. However, this does not stop the same from making oversights and not thinking things through in their final processes...that is, as long as it passes all safety and developer protocols, they are more or less left to do as they please.

...I also haven't ruled out that this was a developer's call where something got VE'd.
