That's what I've been thinking since the get go. The articulation on the vertical bands is also a little to subtle. Without making them wider perhaps they could have pitched in and out a little bit more. Still a nice light airy looking structure.

I figure she will be halfway there to a city councillor based on your enthusiasm for city building.

Yeah. After decades of no movement the recent addition of residential towers east of the Alexandria Bridge is a welcome addition. Glad the Viu towers are front and center.

I'm not sure how I feel about the 100% uniformity of materials on the tower portion. Feels like it's missing something.

Like.. Pineview as in Blair rd? You're a mad man. Time to upgrade your drone for human flight. I now have the notion in my head that the tram should continue/have a spur to go down St. Joseph.

The render does not show the chopped up mullion look. I personally detest that style in most cases. Why are there like.. 20 boxes covering just one unit. I see where Dzingle Bells is going with the comparison. If they keep those prominent horizontal bands with a clean one piece look it could...

This location is fantastic. Protected viewplanes from the south just by the lay of the land. Also why I don't want that traffic triangle to be developed. This baby needs to be soaked in visually. Like the Museum of Canadian History it's an architectural masterpiece and needs to be seen.

These are quite visible from Baseline rd passing the experimental farm. Actually.. going down Baseline eastbound on the upper floor of the 88 is quite nice. It's crazy how many new and old projects are clearly visible. You can see the new builds on Scott st. Westgate is quite obvious. Dows lake...

If its the same script/font as Icon you can at least say... It ain't Clemow. I don't mind the Claridge script. It's quite light in comparison.

Calm atmosphere. That's actually a great point I hadn't considered. So... no skate parks then. I had thought of a viewing binoculars or something of the sort but I don't think the angle is quite right for the estuary on the west side of Dow's. Lots of cool ducks and birds make their way through...

Oh. Well that's frickin awesome then. I'm an idiot and see now on page 1 of this that the DARA Tennis Club was explained by J.OT13. I'm a recent transplant from SSP but that doesn't excuse my lack of reading comprehension. I think I got a little bit sidetracked at the notion of roof mounted...

Yeah it seems to still have those chunky zig zag outsets around the windows. Could be a very interesting design. At first glance the overall structure reminds me of Ottawa brutalism. Place Vanier in particular. Those place Vanier A,B,C are kind of understated handsome office buildings. I don't...

At the end of the day it adds a pile of density to a developing corridor. The redevelopment of the mall across the street will be quite the spectacle when its done. It's unfortunate St. Joseph doesn't have any pleasant connections to the Rapidbus. A tram spur going from Casino.. or some...

Pretty handsome as far as strip retail goes. I respect the attempt on the addition but...

These renders make me feel a bit better about a large parking structure next to Dow's Lake. I wasn't aware of a plan for the inclined walkways before this. I don't suppose there might happen to be an elevator alongside that staircase with the rounded glass? Getting to the top in a wheel chair on...
