Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinion but this here is a rare example of an architecturally sound, if not wonderful, incorporation of an existing facade with a new multipurpose building.the heritage incorporation is nice to see but the new building on top clashes pretty heavily with the old imo. you'd think they would have used a similar color palette
The window wall is well executed. Full height glass with no waist high mullions and quality spandrel cladding.
Would it matter particularly? If it's painters getting any of the 15 units, typically they want more diffused northern light if they're going to be working in the units… but because of the 16.5° angle that Toronto is off of north, north facing units actually get a lot of sun late in the day in the summer… so there's no side in town that always gets the diffused light.What unit numbers in the building have been sold for subsidized housing for artists? I’m assuming all facing North?
I think I vaguely remember when I bought my unit that they said the artist units were distributed randomly, not in one concentrated area. I'll try and find out.Would it matter particularly?
