Toronto CHAZ | 150.87m | 47s | 45 Charles Ltd | P + S / IBI

Great tour today! From the batch of photos posted on the homepage, I'm becoming more and more a fan of Chaz. It's octagonal footprint is very unique and really sets it apart from most buildings in the area. Not to mention, Chaz and Casa look surprisingly good next to each other. Some great contrast in the design language, and having them next to eachother actually strengthens both.
I was hoping for this sort of relationship out of the original Mirvish Gehry proposal, but now I guess I'll have to look for the 1 Yonge project.
 
Separated at birth?

The two buildings play off each other nicely. I wasn't a huge fan of Casa, and Chaz doesn't seem like anything special in its own right, but as an ensemble the two somehow work together. The horizontal lines on Chaz are in dialogue with the balconies on Casa, and the massing of the two buildings work together in such a way to make both buildings appear lighter. P+S did well here
