Technically a mid-rise but hard to believe this site will be hosting one building.

This will be literally "a house of glass" - the exterior cladding (in addition to window glazing) is all glass blocks.

That's the small grid detail you see. There's a mock-up on site but I can't find it lol.

Suffice to say the condo corp will have a hefty 'water bill' line item in their monthly maintenance fees.

A closer look.

Gonna be fun to watch this (glass-block clad) cubist puzzle rise this year. Though not pre-fab, inspired in part no doubt by Safdie’s lego Habitat.

The first glass block ‘curtainwall’ appears at grade.

So what you're saying is, the people living there shouldn't throw stones?
