If that extra width is in the middle then technically it is symmetry.

Edit: Update! (And you can see the pool in Benito's pic).

Well bad news and good news...bad news is it appears my progress files have been mysteriously deleted! Good news is I've improved my process so let's call it spring cleaning. Apologies if there's some delays on the larger projects. Here's an update for this one (steel hidden by heritage...

Waiting for a few more photos and steel and it'll happen!

Do you have any like...reasoning or proof? There's clearly a lot of technical steel needed in this build and they've been adding new pieces almost weekly.

Been re-tooling the supporting docs a bit so a weird little jump from last months post (in the background) but we should be a little more accurate now...Excited for them to not approve the height increase so I can do it all over again!

Can't get instagram to link as media for the life of me so here's a few from the horses' mouth (most recent 4 posts as of posting this).

Fast dig considering they've been working through winter. Has it been pretty mild?

I know for some, including my partner, the walk from the The Bay through the Wilkinson Eyre bridge and then opening up to the tall ceilings and Canada geese installation is quite a "wow" moment. For those who've never seen it there's still some charm but those with an architectural eye for...

I'm cautiously optimistic for the podium. We have the window wall installed but there's still a lot of bare concrete and insulation to be covered up. Based on the quality of the tower, it should bode well.

Based on those renders the curtain wall could have something similar to One57 in New York. Hopefully a little less blue however. Source

There's also no store plans/floor plans period so I think some speculation is fair. Unless you work for Apple/Core Architects or F+P the layout of the "Apple Store" is still a mystery.

My guess is it'll be a cantilevered staircase or a smaller balcony (but not a whole floor like at Union or the Hangzhou store). It does look pretty hefty but when you compare it to these construction photos I don't think it even comes close. Apple Union Source Apple Hangzhou Source

I was here when they started building the Union Square store. There was A LOT of steel to make that cantilever. We would have seen evidence of something that grand already - likely just to be a well supported balcony if anything.

Looks like the new super columns are reaching to Level 7 which is the first floor of hotel suites. The craziness of angled steel below that (Level 5) will be a double height floor used for Hotel storage (baggage, food and beverage), Level 6 has both residential interior amenities and hotel...

I would imagine we'd see some formwork around them before that. At least that's been the trend prior to previous additions (we're in uncharted territory now 😬).

Well we've definitely all been there 😅Some people having bad days everyday on here it seems these days...

Frankly I'm just tired of all this down-beaten pessimism for literally any project that hasn't even broken ground. We're already pleasantly surprised by the quality so far. Seems like half the posts in here are just nay-sayers and Toronto-bashers. 🤷🏻‍♂️

And people wonder why Libeskind doesn't get a lot of large projects 😅
