Urban Shocker
Doyenne
For me, one of the few facades that works is the invaginated Savarin - split into three sections and forming the enclosing walls of a bar, tucked inside the Turf Lounge at 330 Bay Street.
very nice pic of bay street ^^^
reminds me why it's basically my favorite street in the city. nice streetwall, generally tall buildings, (lots of new buildings as well north of the CBD in/around college!), and surprisingly spacious/quiet.
and burano is going to be huge. jeez, just picturing it taller in that pic now is AWESOME!
Quiet? Really? Steveve you need to turn down your earbuds, they are damaging your hearing!

Your correct about pedestrians, thought it does get pretty busy now when people are going to and coming from work but I find Bay Street noisier with vehicular traffic than most streets, perhaps Yonge Street is noisier. I've lived on several major streets downtown and Bay Street was terrible for noise. I sold my first condo at Bay & Grosvenor after 11 months of living there in great part because of the traffic noise from 6am to about 8pm, later if there was an event at the Skydome. I'd get vibrations from trucks, buses and large vehicles inside the unit and could only enjoy the balcony on Sunday or late at night when traffic was usually minimal. It's pretty quiet inside and around Queens Park at night when leaves are on the trees come late April, save for the subway rumbling underneath.
What floor did you live in ?
