Silva cells ...

Another view of the balcony guards...full sun. Still wondering if this is a test, as no further installation has occurred.

Is that going to be a new street where they are installing the silva cells?

Looks like the planned extension of Harbour Street. Interesting they are installing silva cells already.

I feel like I'm doing Menkes job for them with this one, since they've never given any solid renders of this balcony treatment, and my earlier reference didn't give a good overall idea so here you go.

I saw that and was like "How could I have taken that? There's no building that looks like that in view from my balcony!"

I’m curious to know what source you’re using for your version. It looks great, but significantly different than the version on Menke’s sales site.

Unfortunately I don't have access to the Site Plan Application on the City's development portal anymore, but the last material documents (and documents for phase two that were submitted to the city) indicate the one I'm showing in the mockup is the pattern that is being tested on the tower currently. Also some of the update photos showing the balcony treatment at the top of the page line up with the other pattern as there are three different coloured aluminum balcony guards opposed to glass seen in renders (plus the initial pattern in those photos is different as well).

It does bring up questions as to why Menkes is not giving buyers (or the city) much to work with in terms of what the building will look like. The documents submitted to the city never showed the full pattern from everything I saw, and up until recently it seemed that the photo you posted was the intended pattern. It's a large project after all, but yet there are simply so few renders to indicate anything like other sellers normally provide.

I presume those silva cell thingies are not there to prevent cattle from crossing over into Sugar Warf domain? >.>

Edit/Disclaimer: Not meant really as a serious question, for right or wrong. >.<

Allows trees to grow

Allows trees to grow

More seriously though...is that to control/contain the root structures so they don't wonder off causing damage overtime?

Thank you for sharing that. I feel less ignorant about silva cells now to which up till this point I really wasn't aware of their true function/mechanics outside of wild guess. /bows
