doing an upzone exercise before they flip this over to mattamy?

Can’t tell wether I like or dislike the design.. cladding looks nice but I don’t know how it’d turn out if this gets approved (and built)

Thoughts:

This type of design is beyond Dialog's ability, and it shows.

The offsetting of the differing vertical bands actually makes the building look shorter and clunkier.

The three different treatments vertically is also one too many.

Building this, this way, would add costs that I don't think would be recouped at this location.

Overall, I think @stfeinberg is likely correct in his call above, and Mattamy (or anyone else w/ one whit of common sense) would not build this as proposed. If he's not right, he should be, because this attempt to be interesting by people who don't do interesting is only interesting for the wrong reasons.
