The strength is in the contrast between the two colours. I'm actually impressed and pleased that the design made it through to the construction phase.

I pass by this daily and have also noticed the balconies extending beyond the NW corner of the building. That's going to be a fun feature for the owners of those units.

My friend at Steamwhistle says people who have booked weddings at Steamwhistle's banquet hall are furious that this thing will be in the way of their views.

"The parking, located at the rear of the building, is comprised of eight above ground levels, veiled in the same fritted glass as the rest of the tower. Residents living on those floors will have the convenience of parking their car on the same level as their suite." Would be wonderful to...

Snore!

I want to buy a condo at Backstage - just so I can have thousands of adoring fans standing outside, admiring my condo every night.

Great photo!

Nice! I'm not usually impressed by chandeliers, but I want a closer look at that one.

1) I definitely think this city needs more colour 2) I don't think CrystalGrey deserves to be a part of this discussion.

Wait - will owners really be allowed to put up non-white window coverings? Oh - and those ladybugs have got to go.

I like the towers' light features. I hate the pools. Why go to the trouble of constructing an indoor pool if there's not room to swim? And if the outdoor one is a lap pool, then market it as such, and not as a wading pool. The only nice thing I can say about the lobby is that I like the...

A lot of us are in sync on the basic ideas... I like a combination of proposals too. The functionality of the staircase can't be beat, but it's otherwise lacking. For some more visual impact, I'd add the paving pattern which defines the area. I would have added the light canopy, but I'm...

Better than "Chaz".

I like this a lot. Reminds me a bit of U Condos. I can see them cheaping out at some point during construction - which is so common these days - but not with the angled strips, which are the most striking part of the design.

I've always felt something was missing from the design of this building. I haven't been able to put my finger on it... until now. Of course - they should have removed the colour from all the surrounding buildings! :)

I like that rendering a lot more than the initial one. Not too bad.

I love the coloured glass. It must be so much fun to anticipate the construction of your unit, and then find out when you finally see your unit what colour your windows are.

Love the headline on this article.

Yep - do a Google image search for "tilt-shift photography" and you will pull up some amazing examples which you would swear are scale-models.

All these big condos have similar rules. Seasonal furniture only; no storage, no bicycles. A building like Casa will simply have to be more vigilant about enforcing the rules, that's all. The main thing will be to make sure you have a really good, experienced property management company.
