So picture a copy of J22 (squat and long) but oriented N-S and with the materiality of Hat @ Five Corners.

Not sure I like this one, but they are working within the existing zoning.

 

[Daveography]

I got an answer to why the projects are called The Hat. Apparently it's because a hat is typically the last thing you put on, to elevate your look and style. Cidex wants to elevate established communities with their projects similarly.

Wow. What a high honour for the established communities.

If it uses the same materials as Hat @ Five Corners, then I don't think I'm going to like it much.

 

[OverheardatYEG]

Same with Dave, I'm not liking the material choice.. But it does look like there's potential for the front portion to be all glass but I don't feel that's how Cidex runs So sad. If the front were all glass it would be gorgeous!

Based on the building elevations, the west and east facades will be (mostly) clear glass, mullions and spandrel panels. I do not see any acrylic stucco being used. This doesn't seem as spandrel-heavy as The Hat at Five Corners, luckily.

um

meh?

Too institutional. This looks like it should be a new building at the Royal Alexandra Hospital or something.

Less stucco = promising, though.

Wow. What a high honour for the established communities.

I laughed and then...

Wait - does that mean Cidex is calling our neighbourhoods only half-dressed??
