Not enough red balcony glass.

While I appreciate the solid coloured surfaces for exterior interest, I'd definitely prefer clear balcony glass as a tenant.

Maybe someday we can have an opaque material from outside, while it's clear from inside....

I think the switch was instigated by concerns over potential views out of the units. Bit of shame though, what could have been a very striking building is now much more anonymous.

This morning.

 

[LUVIT!]

I think I'm going to love the building.

 

[Edward Skira]

Red, red and more red. Are we happy?

 

[stjames2queenwest]

Yes. MUCH more exciting!!!!

 

[AlvinofDiaspar]

That should put an end to forumers seeing red over err, not seeing red.

AoD

 

[ChesterCopperpot]

Will it though?

 

[LUVIT!]

Some folks jump to very quick conclusions/complants.

Hm...I can't tell if this will truly be a great design....once more cladding is up then I will put forth some kind of opinion based on the materials and lines on the balcony glass. Those lines are certainly something else...hm.

the white lines are just packaging from shipping. they are already mostly removed. It's bubble wrap.

Is it possible that we should wait even a little bit longer for reaching conclusions on this one?

Vindicated!

 

[Gphorce]

Woohoo, colour! With Picasso adding some deep reds down the street from this section of Toronto could become the Red Queen of Hearts.

(I'll see myself out)

Update:

It has been roughly four months since we last covered the construction of Urban Capital and Malibu Investments' Smart House, a 25-storey architectsAlliance-designed "micro-condo" development on Queen Street, steps west of Osgoode Station. When we last checked in on the project at the end of March, forming of the project's four-storey podium had recently been completed, and work had started on the smaller tower floors above. In the time since, the tower's construction has progressed rapidly, with the 25th and final residential floor now being formed.
