A 35 storey 'proposal' for The Quarters in Edmonton on a site perching over the valley.

Typical Toronto. It's too tall and wide to have zero step backs. That 3 storey podium next to the townhouses accomplishes little except to skew the F.S.I. as if there were step backs.
Depends if the white and grey are brick. Of course, the typical fenstration cluttered with venting and random mullions and spandrel will make it look like shit.
The podium bases of those Vaughn towers are just bizarre. Made to look like something old and precious was preserved, but it is merely ersatz.

Nice detail on 2475 Dundas to statisfy the city with wider sidewalks and not eat up too much in maximizing the lot area. It's probably just the rendering. The tower feels much larger than 750 square metres. In other words, more, longer, narrower shoeboxes
