Not gonna lie it’s Pretty hard to be optimistic about this one. Hopefully some fins and blue skies will help.

I thought Nobu was bad but this one just doesn't have any hope. Same goes with 357 King West.

Even with the reduction in horizontal mullions (as also used on Cumberland at Yorkville Plaza), the grey spandrel still looks soulless, meh and cheapened out. I'm pretty sure they are higher caliber window wall than used on many spandrel boxes we see, but it certainly makes a poor argument for itself that it is somehow supposed to be better or different, IMO.

Furthermore, the dramatic renders of white fins that supposed to define it, feels so far as it's tact on after thought in reality. And it only covers one side facing away from Yonge, so go figure.

...like a bad moon rising, indeed.

PS: I'm not knocking a-A for this @ProjectEnd...as like with all architect firms, they have to work with the tools that are given to them. /sigh
