A design concept for a 14 floor, 168 unit residential building on the site of an existing church. The church would occupy space on the double height ground floor along with 2 commercial units facing Main Street and residential units with private gardens along the two side streets. A large rooftop garden at the 8th floor accommodates urban farming as a natural amenity and food source for residents.

I love the idea of a redevelopment here but I can't think of anything nice to say about the massing, aesthetics, etc. This is Hamilton, so people will complain about its height and not its disgusting street presence.

Nonsense - some of us will ALSO complain about its disgusting street presence.

While the bubbles windows is sorta interesting yeah this is meh to me. And it's always disheartening to see something like a church knocks down for a lego block building design.

I don't mind the scale, though I bet the taller section is cut down to appease those against such height here.

Definitely needs to be more street-friendly and less alien.

Thank you! I like this area... I will wait to see future rendering before making an opinion on the design.
