Generic, ubiquitous, forgettable.

Bravo

I'm ok with this. This building has been generic, ubiquitous and forgettable since birth so really just a continuation. Let's see what they do with the empty land.

 

[IanO]

I'd disagree with that.

Given its prominent location, simple but classic design, piece of art and green, it stood out for me. We have a lot of generic beige, precast, earth tone and now have shifted to a lot of white, black, grey and don't need more of them.

 

[Didama]

Not sure if we have any shortage of vomit green in our buildings either. Black and white can look sharp if done right. I'm hoping they keep the artwork though; I'll agree there.

Ultimately this building will be overshadowed by the new neighbour anyways.

I think the change is very nice and will complement the new tower.

Much, much better!

 

[IanO]

Much, more generic!

 

[Jack Harris]

is the bigger tower beside this building in the renderings supposed to be built as well or is that a different project

 

[archited]

Let's help 'O Neg. get out of reverse to experience at least neutral.

It's not pink, but the original colours had character and presence, this is forgettable.... but not offensive, other than to the original intent.

While I would have preferred them to keep the original colour, it looks better than I thought. I suspect a main goal is to try blend in with the new proposed building or not contrast with it too much.

I think adding a new building here will be good for the area. It made no sense to have a surface parking lot here (well after the 1960's).

 

[Stevey_G]

I personally think it looks far better than it did previously. Much more chic and will integrate with the tower much better than if the color scheme was left as is.

Interesting.
