That overhang of the main part above the podium is a bit odd, makes it feel like the entire thing is unbalanced.. I am kinda a stickler for symmetry.. and im not a huge fan of the pictureframe type style above, feels kinda vranich-y.. podium is ok, I feel they've done better designs though.
At least it somewhat ties in with street level though. And it is barton area so meh, glad to see something going here, itll be interesting to no longer see people hanging around this area though. I do like the glassed in separation part on the side which from the renders shows the windows will be maintained next door though.
Would have been cool if the.. crenelations? Spires? I can't remember my architectural names today, at the top were more stylized or pointed to give more of that secondary school vibe instead of looking like grey pez on the top lol..
..kinda sucks theyre destroying a building with so many intact dormers though.. and one of the few yellow bricked buildings that isn't entirely covered in stains and soot hehe.. sigh.. I always feel a little pang of regret when any type of rowhouse stuff in hamilton is destroyed.. another one bites the dust. At least it's core urban, whatever replaced this could have been a LOT more disrespectful to the space. At least we have a pretty good idea of the finished brick and stone colours since they seem to be pretty consistent with their suppliers.
