Toronto Cumberland at Yorkville Plaza | 124.96m | 40s | Camrost-Felcorp | WZMH

I'm not convinced about the incorporation of small but showy splashes of curtain wall into window wall towers. IMO this tends to emphasize the inferior cladding that otherwise dominates the building instead of elevating the product as a whole. Recent examples include this, the Livmore, Dundas Sq Gardens and most egregiously YC. I'm not suggesting this necessarily ruins the look of otherwise solid projects, but the result is often jarring.

I generally do not like buildings that get 'larger' or have outcrops towards the top unless it is subtle. Perhaps this will change my mind....
