The sauce will be grim on this one. Very, very grim.

I mean nobody's really said that since 2005, but sure.

Gee to think that in the next 5 years there will be another 12-15 new high rise building visible on that short drive on the Gardiner from Liberty Village to Bathurst

Sigh...the grey, back-painted spandrel panel is the bane of this city.

Who the hell is manufacturing these panels and why is there discount only on the grey ones?

I mean I would say this is more of a toothpaste white than grey, but ya.

From today

Can't wait to see the original facade back here again

More dissapointment:

 

[innsertnamehere]

it really is just horrible. Went by it on the Gardiner for the first time yesterday, I really don't know what they are thinking. The renderings showed more of a typical blue glass project, and here they are putting up this crappy baby-blue stuff.

As expected from this developer.

IBI Group seems to be absolutely schizophrenic in terms of the quality of their output.

Geez you're coming off strong. I still strongly believe that there's ways of making window wall work- it has to do with the individual project management in the firm as well, and how well they can maneuver these sort of developer demands.

IBI clearly knows good window wall. Check out their work for CentreCourt and GWL. Hmm, maybe it's the budget that the developer gives the architects to play with.

Spandrel sure sucks the soul out of a design when used like that
