Hmm well I guess we'll just wait for correct renders.
And yeah it's fine to post them - I work for the cable company so they send us their renders so that we can plan to put our utilities in before it gets built. If I get updated ones I will post them.
But yeah the design is rather uninspired, as I say whatever they can cobble together in design software is usually what the buildings end up looking - lots of boxy elements. It's basically just ikea like design - cobbling together a buncha stuff together. Kinda glad I opted out of working in architecture - having to design stuff like this woulda killed my soul.
Also here is saply's design for the corner building - homewood suites I believe. It's off their site so if it's not up to date that's on them. Not a huge fan of the brick part smack dab in the middle there..
At least I am assiming this is the one - it appears to be their only hamilton project.
Also not feeling very inspired by srm architects stuff either- their stuff feels rather blase..
Eh that's a lie I guess.. some of them were pretty cool - don't see any projects on there for hamilton though, although maybe they only upload them once they have concrete renders..
I must say though, this waterloo building is pretty darn cool - seems they mostly just do kitchener and waterloo projects:
I like it cuz it has design elements in the white outlining and arches but is still glassy and modern - we need more buildings like that.
