Interesting, seems like at some time last year, HP was invited to compete on this development..............page 203 http://issuu.com/hariripontariniarchitects/docs/hpa-commercial_residential_portfoli



The tall one looks over 50s plus mechanical

 

[khris]

That is beautiful! Would be totally happy to see these realized.

 

[Armour]

Really dynamic design; and bonus points for not having flat roofs. I really hope this design was chosen. It would really shake up our skyline in a good way, and the ground level looks really interesting as well. It appears that the shorter tower is around 28 s, so hopefully this reflects what will be built.

Quite an update to Hariri Pontarini's 2004 proposal as shown in pages 17 - 18 of:

No glass box? I'm confused. Looks great.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

Looks really great. pj meets garrison and better than both.

 

[Conrad Black]

Is this actually being proposed or just some pie in the sky design work?

 

[bilked]

Looks great! This would be transformative for the area (and help to block views of Jazz from Queen street!). No helicopter flight path issues to St. Mike's though?

 

[torontologist]

Wish it had a bit more of a streetwall on Mutual and Dalhousie, to fit in more with the built form of the area to the south. Otherwise, looking good.

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Is this actually being proposed or just some pie in the sky design work?

It was for a design contest

 

[Lenser]

Looks great. Far more stimulating than those depressingly stodgy towers they're proposing for the foot of Bathurst.
