Toronto 500 Sherbourne | ?m | 34s | Times Group | Northgrave

I like the colour-- a very subtle and attractive tone.

And i LOVE the angled legs at the base of this building. A small touch that makes a strikingly positive difference.

Nice to see some Le Corbusier here, even if this building has seen better days.

And I won't lie-- of course with Toronto's contemporary zoning bylaws, the way 500 Sherbourne will meet the street/ground level will be much better for pedestrians than the Unite D'Habitation (Marseilles) posted above, which had a powerful yet extremely alientating design at ground level.

But I thought the inclusion of such "legs", a homeage to pilotis was a very nice touch for 500 Sherbourne.

Sp!re, you're at least making me feel better.

The roof terrace at the Unite D'Habitation is pretty impressive as well, though I doubt 500 sherbourne will achieve this kind of effect...

This ones starting to make an impact, may not be glamorous but its decent infill. Never realized just how close it was to Verve, being just 1 block north.

More likely a homage to #1 City Centre in Mississauga

We are starting to see some serious density in that area!

I found these renders in an old, disused folder on my computer. They are intended for the aA project at 490 Sherbourne but they work just as well here. Gives one a good sense of the increased density.

What an ugly piece of work. I didn't realize Egyptian is back in style.
