Ahh the balustrade at the top is such a beautiful elegant touch - I love when they add those types of details..

and yeah at first glance the regular brick may seem disappointing but it gives us time to reflect on the fact the whole city was once built from the clay of the escarpment so it's a nice tie-in to what already existed, and prevents every building they use from using that same brown brick of the olympia club..

also high respect to anyone who designs their products to hide the ventilation and make it part of the design, I know I have bemoaned this with other projects in the past who have these beautiful seamless renders and then ruin it all by punching in ventilation after, cheapening the look - it's so simple to tuck them behind or into things and have them be part of the design..

interested to see if medical arts has any plans for that parking lot - it's funny I've never even been in the medical arts building.. there are so many buildings in hamilton I have never been inside of..

still not huge on their design further up james they'll be starting soon but maybe after some amendments it will feel more harmonious.

Also interested to see how wind plays a role on the rooftop patio - kinda wish there was some canopy over the top where the seating is to protect from the elements - the sun and other elements might be a bit intense..
When talking to Steve, he indicated they attempted to put as much ventilation through the roof as possible, but it is a giant pain, and far from simple.
