My only complaint is that I'd rather they had used a more vibrant color for the metal cladding than grey.

I some times image that once and awhile you post while under some hallucinogenic. ......... I don't necessarily disagree with your comments, they just seem somewhat psychedelic and not something I would have ever pondered myself.

Well then, you'll just have to take more drugs, won't you, Mr. ... um .... "Crystal Junkie"!

I think the interior garden at the Sheraton works rather well because it's an extensive architectural as well as landscaping feature in the heart of the building, covering three floors ( four, really, if you include the swimming pool and kitchen herb garden level ). The original design for the interior gardens at Sherway Gardens was another major landscaping success. Slinging a few trees around for effect - marooning them on roofs, in particular - like some sort of mad interior decorator slinging cushions and throws around an apartment, is a cliche.

Bridgepoint from my POV looking mighty fine!

Alas, if only they can keep the half round - having the cake and eating it too...

I am also going to miss the original Bridgepoint Health. That half round has been such a familiar and iconic building overlooking the DVP.

Will it definitely be torn down, or is that still a question?

It's coming down. Its interior is completely unsuitable for a hospital these days: it's unretrofit-able apparently.

I'm not surprised -- the rooms are very small and low-ceilinged.

Is there some other structure replacing it? I really wish that the new Bridgepoint building was built there, rather than jutting out so far into the valley.

 

[Urban Shocker]

If the new Bridgepoint was built there, where would they stick all the patients and staff while they're demolishing the old building - have them camp out in the Don Valley for a couple of years?

I didn't say my wish was actually achievable...

 

[Urban Shocker]

Take a look at the front of the old Jail building, now that it has been cleaned up. Truly, a delight to behold.
