I saw the balconies and they actually looked cool. Nice contrast to the black.

I suspect that many of the people who've complained about this project's monolithic monotony might be pleasantly relieved.
I think these balconies sure help liven it up.

Sure, an isolated but nicely composed image like that can make one imagine that the whole building is similar in quality. In actual fact, the overall bulk is far less attractive.
In five years Reve will likely be mostly hidden behind the even more enormous bulk of what Minto and Freed have planned for next door.

It's funny, while this building actually has some of the more interesting details and colour schemes of any Tridel building to date, the overall structure is one of Tridel's most offensive (and that's saying a lot). Truly the outcome is far lesser than the sum of its parts.

I think a big part of Reve's problem is the built form / shape of the structure being principally a slab in addition to some blank walls, however we need to recognize that Reve inherited the design from the former aloft/ELEMENTS hotel proposal...

Whoever described it as looking like a building pushed over onto its side hit it bang on.

I don't know what you all are talking about. This building is a one of a kind creation and looks very nice. The black windows make it classy and very unique. Very suitable for the King W area. Any other black windowed condos in TO????
Good job to Tridel!

It's all there for you to read. You love it, I think it sucks. Anyone living on the west side of this monstrosity will likely have a view of the ass end of the Minto-Freed Monster.

The different between X and Rêve is .... X has slightly green tinted glass with black window frames, whereas Rêve has black tinted glass with black window frames

60 Bathurst has dark windows as well. While I would have preferred a more clear glass on that building, it's really broken up by the lighter grey and red facade.
