I would think more than that, given that they're going 20+ right across the street to the north. Would be great if they could assemble the gas station, too.
The height would normally be determined here—no matter what the community wants—by Toronto's Mid-Rise Building Guidelines being applied on the depth of the lot. Those have been quite successful at determining how tall the building can be, and the building would normally terrace down to the low-rise neighbourhood behind it… but there isn't one immediately behind it here: there's the surface parking lot built over the Yonge subway, and then behind that you get a commercial building. I imagine the neighbours who are just a little further away would want the standard Mid-Rise Guidelines applied here, but I don't see the most typical conditions here, and I suspect @ADRM that you're right that they'll go for a little more than a typical Avenues style building here.I would think more than that, given that they're going 20+ right across the street to the north.
Cool massing, but that light grey.... tyranny.
It also clashes with the surrounding built form. A building should fit into its context not fight against it.
Nah. I quite like this. There's a strong, Chipperfied, austerity to it.It's looks like a stack of odd-sized boxes. Awkward and unpleasing. It also clashes with the surrounding built form. A building should fit into its context not fight against it.
That northern ground plane also certainly leaves something to be desired.
Do you live in the area? Does the entire city have to be homogenous and contemporary to fit one person's taste? For example, it's probably a positive that Humber Bay Shores wasnt designed to appease my own architectural tastes. For all its flaws, the monolithic green glass towers (and parkade podiums) have given that area a kind of mini Biscayne , mini Miami identity that kind of works. Bespoke Audax midrises or Robert Stern highrises would be out of place there, just as they'd be out of place at Ossington and Dupont or Sterling Rd.I certainly don't need to see some neo-historical here.
