I'm starting to really appreciate the setback they have... because if you think about it, this tower is really boring (design wise). it's essentially a glass box ! i was over at Bay/Bloor and noticed that the white columns (in today's lighting) were very visible through the glass. I really hope people don't use many white blinds to destroy the look of this building. fingers crossed! :D
 
^^ It looks muck like the podium on Ritz, in size and shape. (and materials yet to come) Is this a new Toronto Trend? (Big, transparent, glass boxes)

true. especially the way the roof of the podium extends further out and the base sits recessed... it looks nice though :)
 
I really like what this project does for the Bay streetwall, but I still feel like the tower is a bit brutal-- very shapeless. Usually I'm all about the 90-degree angles, but suddenly on this project I find myself looking for more shape-- I think it's because it's got such a big footprint. On the other hand, I think once the vertical fin features are done all the way to the top of the finished tower, it will be less jarring and it will pull the design together. We'll see!

Good updates :)
