Toronto 875 Queen East | ?m | 7s | Harhay | OFFICEArchitecture

From a half hour ago. Looking pretty good. I like the two different brick colours. Had it been confined to the duller one I fear it might have looked a little too austere.

I rather like the original corner brick, then opposing regular brick and iron-spot bricks to break up the massing...(as well as the push-pull effect).

I hope the base of the reconstructed facade isn't too transparent- really hoping to avoid a Silver Snail-like situation whether the historic facade ends up floating awkwardly.
