The grey and orange are beautifully matched. Too often, the colour combinations in new construction in Toronto are timid and bland or downright ugly.

that south facing glass is suuuuuuper fritted, almost appears frosted. was not expecting that.

Maybe someone's coming to peel the protective paper coating off... we got them at Ikea right?

At best I imagine there will be some sort of coffee/snacks shop on ground level as it IS a functional court building during the rest of the week.

Must be a mistake. We don't do vibrant colour here.

 

[DavidCapizzano]

Hell yeah that’s like orange crush orange.

 

[Rimawi]

That looks great! Are they going to install the fins on the lower row of glass later then?

 

[tripwire]

Wow that looks amazing!

 

[ADRM]

Guess they went with the painted aluminum over terracotta (as expected).

For once I'm not even mad at a potential cheapening, I am just so ecstatic to see bold colour. Especially in Old Town; there should be a moratorium on grey/black/monochrome buildings in this part of the city. Red brick and/or colourful finishes, please.
