Very nice pictures for a very nice tower

We should hire Kohn, Pedersen, Fox more often .....

what a beauty of a building!

we need more architectural pieces like this in our city (with a higher height limit!)

Yup! They ARE the architectural firm who designed it!! (maybe pay a retainer fee to keep them at our disposal.)

Awesome pics, Delirium! Some angles we don't see often.

I think they're working on Oxford's next project at 1155 Melville.

Here is a sunroof pic I took the same day as the Santa Claus parade.

Great shot! Reminds me of vinyl records melting in the sun!
I can't wait to try the restaurant when its open.

Well over a year now. Perhaps they will be turned back on when the MNP Tower is complete?

Am waiting to see how long--if ever--the lights on the Hotel Vancouver roof will be back on. It has been over a year for that building, too. This year they didn't even light it up for Christmas.

I thought it was SOM, I might be wrong though.

officedweller · #**1334** Posted **Dec 17, 2014, 8:08 PM**

Oxford replaced SOM with KPF for 1155 Melville.

LeftCoaster · #**1335** Posted **Dec 18, 2014, 12:09 AM**

Ahh I see, guess I missed that. Too bad, SOM does good work too.

officedweller · #**1336** Posted **Dec 18, 2014, 10:37 PM**

My engineer friend said that SOM's design for 1155 was an efficient box.
KPF's design for 1155 apparently has a butterfly floorplate.

LeftCoaster · #**1337** Posted **Dec 18, 2014, 11:59 PM**

Butterfly floorplate? Hmm sounds interesting. Perhaps similar to 1075 W Georgia, which has the middle core (thorax) with two pieces north or south (wings).

Well. I'm interested.

officedweller · #**1338** Posted **Dec 19, 2014, 2:11 AM**

Edit - checked my post from July 2014 in the rumours thread - it's 2 intersecting parallograms, but for some reason, butterfly comes to mind.
