Taken today:

The now-blue mechanical box looks great, but I still feel like the top of the tower is unresolved. The original exoskeleton design or even a Casa-hat would suit this one well.

That glass is awesome. But won't the ledges become homes for pigeons?

Everywhere is home for pigeons. Pigeons need homes too ?

The clips that hold the bands on are vertical, and the bands are always on an angle, so I'm not so certain there's anything very appealing for a pigeon to roost upon. If they were able to fit in behind a band, they'd find they were permanently on display to whoever lived behind the glass, and I'm not sure that would appeal to them either.

As interesting as the tower itself is, the podium definitely won the prize here. Very glad to see both aA and HP starting to use spider fittings for glass facades extensively (Ice, TP, 1 Bloor).

The glazing is going up on the podium and it looks very funky. Having an issue with uploading pics but will when I figure it out.

Love the randomly angled glass on the podium.

The little round wading pool has been cut, hasn't it?

 

[interchange42]

The wading pool has been cut, but there is a water feature going in at the bottom of the geometrical "tree" artwork.

The glass is looking great. Really looking forward to seeing the finishes being applied here. Looks like a major win for the public realm is on its way here!

No wading pool? Where will the condo kids play?

The mechanical glass still looks off.

The mechanical glass still looks off.

Indeed it does.

Whoa, is the PH unit already occupied or is it just staged?

 

[urbandreamer]

Didn't Brad keep that PH for himself? (Whatever happened to his Paul Raff dream home on Richmond Street?)
