Does anyone know what the house will be used for? Amenity space? Commercial Unit?

This is a very bizarre project. I am glad they were able to deliver and incorporate the heritage building, but I find that the new development neither complements nor contrasts for an effective pairing. Matching the tone of the heritage brick might have been the way to go here to help tie it together, faux pas be darned.

Glad they saved the old house. New building is a mess of materials and styles, not very complimentary to the old house.

Using similar brick would have gone a long way.

I don’t like how the house sits up unnaturally 5’ higher out of the ground than it originally did. The avenue side is technically the back of the house as the north side was the orientation for views down the valley so the new site context defines the house as out of place.

Overall the project is a win IMO. Some things could’ve been done better but it’s a perfect scale it a good use of a heritage home.

Not any difference from Urban Warrior’s update on Jan 4, except that some of the balconies have personal items, this one is definitely completed.

I give this an A

Overall a very good project on a lot that was wasting away. Not only new density to the area, but new life on a heritage home.

The snow is gone and we get a good look at the final product. This will be nice once the grass is green and there’s some shrubs or foliage.

Very unharmonious...

the cascading signage down the edge of the building looks hodge podge.

 

[Surrealplaces]

I don't like the signing down the side. I'm curious to see how this looks when the trees kick in.

Would love to see a pub open in the old house!
