looking closely at the new rendering you can see the same wavy pattern in the balconies as the original rendering...this one just isn't as clear or sharp as that first one. I suspect this may be a case where the actual building will turn out better than this new rendering.
Also, I can't help but feel the podium was cut/paste to add the new floors of housing. I wouldn't be surprised if DPAI enhances the podium with the more random wavy pattern found in the tower instead of the cut/paste repeat on every floor.
David Premi said himself at yesterdays meeting that the building will end up better than shown here.
Hamilton is ultra bland and conservative when it comes to design (exhibit A - LED screen axed from this project) so maybe it was an intentional thing to not have a showy rendering at city council?
