Sugar Wharf buildings would've looked phenomenal in red (where the black is), and I mean red redWhat a welcome antidote to Toronto's classic colour-aversion. This is shaping up spectacularly.

The Sugar Wharf towers are certainly a step above the trashy spandrel cheapness of Daniels Waterfront but that "crystalline" balcony pattern is quite tacky in its own right.Sugar Wharf buildings would've looked phenomenal in red (where the black is), and I mean red red
Toronto, the city where you have to hire an international starchitect to get anything but grey, black or white cladding on your building, because apparently all of the local architects are color blind (outside of the occasional splash of color on our precast brick)What a welcome antidote to Toronto's classic colour-aversion.

I'm with you on the need for more colour, but this isn't fair to local architects. Just off the top of my head, local architects have given us Limberlost Place with plenty of vibrant orange, Portland Commons' lovely orange fins, 30 Colborne, also rocking the orange fins, Cielo, going up now and which should have some nice gold or copper cladding, and a bunch more in the pipeline. The problem is with risk-averse developers, not their architects.Toronto, the city where you have to hire an international starchitect to get anything but grey, black or white cladding on your building, because apparently all of the local architects are color blind (outside of the occasional splash of color on our precast brick)
Great moody picture capturing one of the greyest winters we've ever had (so far). Enough of this for me, though, I'm off to sunnier climes for the rest of the season!
No, it's still UrbanToronto, but you can access it (and any other UrbanToronto thread) if you enter via SkyriseCities.I see that this thread is now "skyrisecities", no more "Urban Toronto" ?
