There are similarities to old brutalist buildings with prominently exposed structural elements:

That's a crazy one. Dr Seuss always loved a heavy hand. I first stumbled across this while looking for the 'Paradise Lost' monument in relation to an article I was working on. It was a powerful surprise for a young architect guilty of being ignorant of its existence. A refined and unapocalyptic structure when compared to its many eastern European counterparts. The inside was equally interesting.

The glazing on this looks so much better than the light spandrel with chaotic grid of mullions over top that we're used to seeing.

I would say on a taller one one more floor of penthouse plus crown, and for shorter one is basically topped up.

Thaks!

That seems right based on the model.
There'll be quite a bit of height to the roof.

Top job by Cressey and Chris Dikeakos Architects here. Really dignified while innovative too.

the rental tower is now taking registration and says move-ins for the rental will start in June.

One of the suites is completely decorated as a show suite. Lots going on outside, the condo tower, the roof top feature looks really big. Need to get some pics.
