I really hope this one turns out as good it could. The renderings look promising.

Renderings usually do - so my hopes are not high but ......

I think the towers will look fine, if not too glassy and blue. The mid rise building closest to the Gardiner is going to look brutal and I think the entire at grade experience here will be glass. Hopefully the landscaping is good.

Not sure 'good landscaping' will be enough to compensate for (or distract ones eyes off) the actual buildings!

Now I realize what's been bugging me about this design. That one building with the tapered massing in its bottom third reminds me of... a commode.

Now I will never be able to look at this building without smiling!

Dreading this wall of spandrel. I'd also like to see warmer colours to contrast with the monotony of the light blue condos in the area.

Yes, I fear that it is starting to look like Time & Space if it had growth spurt!

 

[DavidCapizzano]

This is going to look foul
