^^ I really like the wedge-shape of the St. Anne's Road apartments. I wonder if the end suites will rent for more or less than the middle suites? The diagonal wall is interesting, but I wonder hoe functional it will serve as floor space? Very cool, though!

Yeah, it's also good to see the city (or maybe just the developer?) set aside some public reserve for a path along the river – I don't believe there's one there right now, IIRC just on the east side of the river.

Hargrave one is ugly, but the big windows should help ease it a bit. Maybe they can get gold dryer vents lol. Good infill in a discreet location at least. We could stand to look to MSP's design requirements for more priominent locations (like River, Stradbrook, Assiniboine).

I really like this one...

Good scale, close to street and a very cost effective solution in a very expensive building environment.

We need more young and progressive developers like this in the City.

They are also giving young architects a chance to actually build what they design.

This is all a step in the right direction.

The pink borders on the shrub beds look like shit, but yeah it's a womens hospital so it has to be pink, really!

The Women's and Newborn's hospital is a beautiful looking building. IMO it's very welcome in such a dense cluster of buildings. I would think the entire area will benefit from the Elm Forest mural. I hope other buildings try a similar idea in the future.

shame we will loose our elm trees and ash trees soon though

Beautiful facility. Will be a welcome change to the old, outdated hospital.

Talking with the nurses when my boy was in nicu at St. B recently. There will still be a nicu ward, but with private rooms where the nicu babies will stay. It sounded like the rooms would be off the main nicu area. So nurses will still be very close all the time. Allowing parents to be closer and in more private area with their babies. This is huge. The hardest thing was sitting in a crappy chair, no areas for resting. People and noise everywhere.

very nice.. A lot of thought went into this edifice..took long enough but great end result. The dark pink curbs outside surrounding the foliage really makes it pop and actually act like when a lady wears make up. It most definitely enhances the other colours that adorn the structure. It is nice to see we are evolving with ideas in this part of the country where Beige and greige usually win the day. Well done!

I personally hate the use of Corten for small-scale 'fussy' decorative elements with punched-out designs. I find it looks tacky, e.g.:



I really like it in certain applications, but only when it's at scale, and has a solid, monumental feeling that feels like it's part of the building rather than a decorative afterthought on, e.g.,

I love Corten Steel.....just so all of you know.

Thanks for all the updates, wpg_guy.

The Women's Hospital has taken forever, but it's nice to see it finally nearly ready to open. It looks beautiful and could not be more different than the existing facility. That one is pitifully run down and looks like a Soviet-era hospital you'd expect to see in some backwater Siberian town. (I think they gave up on anything more than basic maintenance once the wheels got turning on the new Women's Hospital.) Hopefully this will make for a much better experience for women and their families.

wait how many years behind is it now?
