Yes it’s that low. Toronto’s finally getting good design since housing is now expensive enough to pay for it.
Hamilton’s market is very affordable comparatively which means it’s got less to work with. That doesn’t mean you can’t have better and worse quality projects within that limited budget, but don’t expect a Bjarke Ingel or Zaha Hadid here.
The reality is that 80% of what makes a project look good is it’s material selection and construction details, which Hamilton isnt the greatest at generally. Comments on Stubbes Concrete products in other threads is a great example - a terrible product for which there are better alternatives at a similar cost.
Indwell keeps designs simple but they execute well, meaning their projects are usually fairly attractive as a whole, even if they aren’t eye catching.
