I gotta say this one is honestly becoming another Telus condo IMO. I'm just waiting for the renders with the seafoam spandrel. Just like Telus i liked the original proposal, i thought the various coloured hexagon windows at the entrance as seen from the park would have made a great departure from the usual square windows and the hexagons reflected in the lattice over the tower would of looked so different and eclectic feeling. At the time i honestly believed we were gonna start seeing more building designs that incorporated the more fun architectural details from the 50's 60's and 70's with a new age take on them and i was very excited. So far it's been more of a cold soviet style from those eras with a seafoam twist. (aside from the social housing, i wanna live there!)
The new lattice on the tower looks like it would be more of a hindrance to those who may have it blocking their windows or much wanted sun and the rest is just so grey. another thing is the render on the new website make the interiors look like an office building with old style fluorescent lighting.
