Toronto Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences Toronto | 203.9m | 52s | Lifetime | a—A
So when we last gazed upon the Four Seasons, we were looking down at the roof of the podium from the 14th floor.
The podium roof, as you can see in the northwest corner this site plan, will mostly be green.
That long strip down the middle will be a skylight, running the length of the pool. Here's the pool:
Well, eventually that will be the what the pool looks like. Here it is now, from various angles:
Just outside the pool will be this terrace:
Just inside from the pool will be the rest of the facilities of the spa floor:
At the east end of the floor, for the time being we get a view down through the podium's levels:
Down one floor, and we find ourselves amongst the giant steel trusses which hold the podiums' floors open over great spans.
From the outside, you can see the trusses easily:
Back inside, we get a look over the upper ballroom from the mechanical floor above:
And here we are in the upper ballroom itself:
Now we're in the lower ballroom. Here you can see that the floor is not finished:
...while a couple of days later, another floor has just been poured:
In the hall area outside the lower ballroom:
Finally, one more view of the lower ballroom, from the northwest:
I'm not quite sure where this is exactly, but here is one last render likely in the residential reception area:
We hope you have enjoyed the tour. We'll run a few straggling pictures tomorrow of various miscellaneous scenes around the site.

Once again, great tour guys! Thanks.
Right from the beginning, I thought the North Podium section was too small for ballrooms, and now seeing them, I feel I was right. They seem rather small, perhaps only 30 x 100 feet interior space. While nice for a wedding with 150 guests, I would think it would be a tight fit for some larger functions a prestige hotel might host.
I know I'll hear from all involved how deceiving these photos are, but the same cameraman (i42) took the shots of Ritz's ballroom and that seemed enormous by comparison.

Great work guys! The pool area and ballrooms look like they'll be quite comfortable when completed.

Many thanks for the photos. I found how the windows/cladding was attached to the building, to be very interesting.

The podium looks amazing! And i can imagine this thing when its all clad in glass.. those panels will be huge offering amazing views! gotta love this steel structure 
As a denouement to the tour, here are a final few stragglers, grab-bag style:
Tower 2's crane reflected:
The courtyard, for the moment:
Concrete delivery:
Line up:
Tower 2, ground level:
Tower 2, overview:
Hmm. Shouldn't that second direction be in Bar Code?
As seen down Scollard.
Cheers!

EPIC shot you got there Caltrane!
I love the "fin" implementation the podium has along Bay St. and combined with the four seasons glass/open window cutouts... it looks stunning. the glass is epicness in its purest form

Speaking of epic, the EPIC overuse of the word is getting rather tiring. Time to open the thesaurus again?

I agree with you dude... i gotta find some new words, but four seasons Legitimately epic if you ask me
its the glass that makes this building.. the design is essentially a box but the glass is god
