The Clover on Yonge is a new 44 storey condominium tower by Cresford Developments coming to Yonge & Gloucester Toronto. Wonder if they're using aA again?

He's the guy using a name that happened to have been used before. It's the guys from Edmonton that are being very cute about it.

Some amazing Manhattan-esque architecture being proposed to Vancouver's West End.


German-born achitect Ole Scheeren has designed a striking tower that would stand around 50 stories
and include glass horizontal projections that will soak up panoramic views of the West End and Coal Harbour.

This building would be a landmark on the left side of this triangle intersection.

Seems odd to have so much articulation and then nothing on the one side.

The building definitely has a back.

The only reason I really like it is because it is such a departure from the norm there.. but it is VERY awkward.

I like the base. I don't care for the upper sections as I find the cantilevered segments to be too tacked on. It looks like a boring conventional high-rise with a few jenga pieces sticking out to make it seem avant garde. If the design was cohesive across all four sides and for the full height it would work. Although a couple cantilevered sections don't need to be extended so far.

I think what really bothers me is that the balcony parts without extrusions are just too dated looking.

Me to. It's nice to see some variation from the same old same old. Too bad about the blank walls running up the one side though.

Yeah, the parts of the tower without the extrusions remind me a bit of this style if it were painted white: https://goo.gl/maps/QsfRp


It could turn out well but I'm on the fence. The water feature looks cool, but not terribly realistic.

This. It could be very good, but it needs to get some balance in its composition from some angles.
