Toronto Eaton Centre (Ongoing Renewal) | ?m | ?s | Cadillac Fairview | Zeidler

The large door on the north side of the bridge isn’t open today. Apparently it’s not working. The bridge is still open but access is by a small door by Harry Rosen.

They did a phenomenal job with the bridge. The design is distinctive and memorable, the finishes suit the space, there's room for a lot of people, and the user experience has been enhanced by eliminating the doors. The subtle details like the etched bronze panels on the exterior and the windows that let you see the terracotta panels on the exterior of the Bay from up close elevate the design. The Saks walkway leading up to the bridge is also sublime for the floor tiles.
 
I wish the Harry Rosen didn't jut out like that. It shouldn't extend any farther than the atrium wall above it in my opinion, it blocks the hall visually and physically in an annoying way for the benefit of some mannequins on display.
