Today. The Richmond St frontage

And the Lombard St (southern) side

First Pic: Looking south on Richmond, Second Pic: Frontage on Lombard Street - New Cladding Possibly... not present in Rascacielo's post from last week. The third Picture shows the first floors of the tower rising around the heritage building, seen from the southwest side of Victoria Street.

I hope this building turns out more like five condos at St.Joseph and less like 50 Wellelsey.

Saturday morning.

Why do I strongly suspect that Graziani and Corazza took aA’s design and mangled it?

 

[Lachlan Holmes]

Well that gray precast is disappointing. Looks like they gave up on the (elegant to my eye) rust design.

They still may paint the precast. Why they wouldn’t have coloured it before is beyond me. But still hope.

Perhaps they are waiting for the rebar to start rusting through?

You got to ask yourself why create a rendering that's not going to be true to the touch ! It's a disappointing thing. We need more warm tone coloured facades in the downtown area !

You have clearly not been paying attention! It is, unfortunately, all too common to see buildings that lack any of the interesting detailing or colours shown in 'artists renderings'. Renderings are, well, renderings and impressions and are aimed at persuading people to buy in a building without really promising it will look like the picture. Sad? Yes.

I'd rather rely on the models rather than renderings which have become unicorns and rainbows.
