Agreed ^
I haven't stepped foot in the complex yet, but it has its own gravity to it, it doesn't loom over the neighbourhood at all but it's a well composed collection of buildings, other than being a bit compact and generic.

I wish the Well and the CIBC twins were all 50 m taller. Those are some of the best looking towers I've seen go up anywhere recently, but they're all kind of lost in the skyline.

How is the off-street space in the Well?

Wellington st frontage of the Well is very well done. Wide brick sidewalks, properly done street trees, seating and lots of space for patios. There’s still a lot of work going on but should look good once retail is occupied.

1. On Wellington Street… a few weeks ago getting ready for patio season:

3. The enemy of the state (the city’s public realm) TORONTO HYDRO waits until the last paver is laid… and then attacks. These folks should be locked up (until that asphalt is replaced with the pavers... so likely a 2 year sentence).

I'm still a bit worried how the open air mall will fair given that half the year it won't exactly be that inviting. But then again I suppose the Distillery district seems to do ok despite being open air.

Whistling Wind Island cottages in Georgian Bay, ON by Akb Architects: https://www.dezeen.com/2024/07/27/wh...age-ontario/#/

^ Unbelievable although a little lacking in privacy. IMO Georgian Bay is an underrated piece of Canada. Heck even in Ontario the Muskokas seem to get all the attention. In Georgian Bay we're literally talking the world's largest freshwater archipelago with 10s of thousands of islands.

Beauty. How much is it to rent one of those?

New eating establishment on Ottawa's Bate Island. The NCC has been opening Bistros and have a partner that opens "Taverns" at a few different locations in the City to activate the shoreline and parks. Here's the latest one, Tavern on the Island.

There's also Tavern on the Hill (Major's Hill Park, the original), Tavern by the Falls (Rideau Falls), Tavern at the Gallery (National Art Gallery courtyard) and Tavern on the Lake (Leamy's Lake in Gatineau).

The Bistros are at Confederation Park, Patterson Creek, Remits Rapids, Wellington Street across from Parliament. The NCC also has a new Café on the Ottawa River at the River House (opened last year) and Hog's Back Park (Rideau River, had been closed for many years until this summer). https://ncc-ccn.gc.ca/bistro

26 King St has its cladding--and a mural! It doesn't match the rest of the building, but it's a very nice book-end for it.
