I hope we see 5468796 move in this direction, a project from architects Kjellander + Sjoberg (how great would this be in the Exchange?)







from http://www.scandinavian-architects.com/e...ain:scandinavian-architects.com/catId:1/

this was built in Stockholm, it could definitely be done here.

command control shift 3.

thanks for posting that....that is what the waterfront drive buildings should have looked like.

[Winnipegger@Heart]

How cool; I would love to see many of these packed along Waterfront, parts of Bannatyne, McDermot, William, Adelaide...all over really, lol.

^Check out the "Hammarby Sjöstad" redevelopment in Stockholm for some really impressive design and planning concepts. Something similar on the edges of the exchange would be awesome...

Am I missing something with this, what is so special about that apartment block in Stockholm? Looks pretty normal to me..?

[Winnipegger@Heart]

The punctuation of the windows, the number of windows, the brick, no stucco, no vinyl siding, not fussy, handsome.

Government has new life for old Brick's Heritage gem to become office space

By: Murray McNeill

WAYNE GLOWACKI / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS Leasing agent Joe Diner and Barbara Lapointe of United Equities Group inside 111 Lombard. Both believe heritage buildings, properly renovated, are in a class of their own and will draw tenants.

A prominent downtown heritage building is finally getting a new lease on life as an energy-efficient office complex after the owners landed a provincial government department as an anchor tenant.

The former Brick's Fine Furniture retail/warehouse at 111 Lombard Ave. is undergoing a $25-million, top-to-bottom makeover preparing for the Entrepreneurship, Training and Trade Department moving in next year.

Long time lurker. First post
Adding all those windows on the west side of the Brick building is assuming that the current parking lot is going to always be there?

There is a backlane between the building and the parking lot.

The backlane is on the north and east side. The west overlooks a parking lot that is flush against the building.

^ looks like someone should be thinking more "stockholm" in their building design. That proposal looks so uniform and boring...

Why can't we have it like those cool Scandinavians where they build buildings with none of the windows lining up?

....ahhh Drew, you made me LOL at work.
