that spandrel looks pretty rough. the EIFS / precast on ground level isn't helping, either.

Terrible. I do hope that Mattamy learns quickly as this is an awfully poor first foray into a new market segment / asset class.

The combo of Mattamy and G&C is any decent architect's nightmare.

I don't see what's so terrible here.

Whatever it is, it is an improvement on what is presently here.

Its those white lines you see mostly going vertically. Those are what most of us dont like seeing as they tend to look cheap or like a material that doesent compliment the achutecture all to well. they usually are glass panels with some sorta bland color layed behind it... at least thats how it looks to me. example...the bercsy

If this is the sort of lazy garbage that we can expect from Mattamy, I'd prefer they stick to polluting places like Oakville.

What do you expect for a condo named after the lead singer of Korn?

Nah, it's got to be the singer. The quality of the architecture matches that of his track pants.

We got some new renderings, and here they are: http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2016/02/new-renderings-highlight-design-details-j-davis-house

Interesting that those renderings depict a building that wont actually exist. Compare the model shots from the previous story with those above and you'll see they've creatively subtracted much grey spandrel from the new renders, especially at the rear.

How are these guys allowed to raze an entire block, including: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.700...oFKTc8clnxWbQJ-uZA!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1
shameless.
But looks like its been spreading in Davisville like cellulitis. Here's a comparable situation kitty corner to J Davis:

All those buildings should be retained.
