If you are talking about the left side of rounded portion its going to be glass that wraps around and not balcony hanging over the podium. If the renderings are to be believed and so far things are matching up.

I like the notch in the center George st. face. I feel like that looks better than continuous. Especially if the glass wraps around as I noted. The right side of the George st. face seems to change up the pattern.

Then the Dalhousie face does its own thing. Then at the top of that and wrapping around to York it goes back to the curved thing but only on the top couple floors.

Will definitely be a very unique building for Ottawa. As much as I love the step backs on the Major building this does a good job of hiding a pretty mediocre tower. Major building looks best from York anyways so this doesn't change that.

This pic shows its balconies

I need to get my eyes checked! And have a coffee.. or beer. I'm gonna have a beer when Canada can manage to score a goal.

I was looking at the color rendering and it looked like glass wall to me.

I guess... it looks at least like the glass curtain wall will kind of morph into the balconies?

Personally I'd love to see some stretch of Dalhousie remain old buildings. Would be a shame to keep eating up all our old traditional streets.

On the colour rendering, looks like part of the top of that extrusion is all (almost all) glassed in.



Certainly a uniquely shaped building.

red doots. horizontal fins. rounded face that wraps around. about 6 different articulations.

There is a lot going on here and I like it.

Have they even considered random + signs scattered around to show their superiority?
