I was surprised with the choice of architects for this.
I was hoping Citizen would choose a more established and progressive firm based on their past and current developments which stood out design-wise.
 
From the Architecture Unfolded website. I have halved the dimensions of each image to make them easier to look at.

I like the design quite a bit myself. I just hope that if and when it gets built, it ends up looking reasonably close to the images.

I like it a lot.
Clean and simple, and the gradation of light to dark as well as solid to transparent is a very nice and effective concept. I hope this part of the design survives and doesn't get watered down.
The straightforward use of balconies especially the recessed balconies is well appreciated here.
 
So I'm a bit confused about where this is exactly--is that the empty lot on the s/w corner of Adelaide and Charlotte?
 
This is a decent understated design, which will really need decent materials to be properly pulled off. The architect's building at Keele and Wilson turned out terrible but maybe with a different developer and budget, they can pull off something substantially better.
 
The renderings represent a plan that is still purely conceptual at this point.

This was the one that had images leaked and went from white to black? Wish those images were still around, I remember thinking it was very elegant.
