Additional update renderings for Augusta‘s Building #3 with a top floor (9th floor) including a rooftop restaurant with a indoor dining and a outdoor patio.
Might not be a popular opinion but I feel like the height rule has also helped a bit. Feels like the design of buildings in Hamilton focus more on their impact on the streetscape whereas Toronto’s building designs seem to focus on their impact on the skyline. It’s nice from afar but some of the towers over 50 stories really just feel like floors copy/pasted upwards and it gets less interesting the more you see it.Downtown Hamilton is punching far above its weight in terms of design quality. It must be the creative influence of its large population of artists.
