it won't look like that. i bet they are just using that old design as a placeholder.

Vaillant · #**1222** Posted **Dec 9, 2009, 5:26 PM**

me too i think same as you kool maudit at least let's hope

Dylan Leblanc · #**1223** Posted **Dec 9, 2009, 6:41 PM**

Rumors · #**1224** Posted **Dec 9, 2009, 11:46 PM**

I love the design myself, its a change from all those hideous things, that have just been approved.

Here's a recent proposal for what is currently one of the last surface parking lots along Bank Street in downtown Ottawa. It's called Standard Life Phase 3 and it will be completely different from the 1992 twins that make up phases 1 and 2.

Renders from the City of Ottawa zoning bylaw application

It is not, however, surrounded by forest as that render might suggest.

This aerial is a bit old as the red crane is now a 24-storey condo called Mondrian (my home).

Voici le nouveau design de la Société No5 et de Menkes Shooner Dagenais Letourneux :

On parle maintenant d'une tour de 50 étages.

Le projet vise la réhabilitation du silo no.5, bâtiment industriel à caractère historique, à des fins résidentielles. Outre cette transformation, le projet propose un nouveau basilaire, permettant l’ajout d’une tour de cinquante étages. Les ouvrages en toiture existants ainsi que les convoyeurs aériens sont intégrés à l’ensemble. Il en résulte des unités de logement aux aménagements hors du commun, un jardin suspendu englobant le onzième étage de la tour d’habitation et trois grands jardins d’hiver insérés entre les logements. Le bâtiment, tel une lame de verre et de métal perçant les silos, affirme la présence de nouveaux occupants en ces lieux traditionnellement voués aux activités portuaires.

Approx. 50 storeys, residential, its in the old port.

that's really wide for 50 floors

and it doesn't look like a residential tower. it looks like 50 floors of gell with red blocks suspended within it.

oh gawd why, hamilton... mansard-roofed buildings aren't meant to be stacked on top of each other like lego...

Dylan Leblanc · #**1231** Posted **Jan 10, 2010, 10:47 PM**

I think Hamilton is trying to catch up with the 1980s building boom the rest of the country had.

Can we hide this project from NIMBY'S until it's completed?

I hope someone's joking, its horrible looking.

I hope you're right. Old Port is much better off without this translucent, abstract monolith.

The architect of the above mediocrity also has a neat looking vision for Kenora on page two of this gallery. 18 storeys plus the spire would make it the tallest in Northern Ontario.
