I'm kinda hoping for a brutalist revival on Bay Street before it turns into a glass wall festival

Another great morning for a walk through a mostly empty downtown

Hi there..

The south tower is a bit Felix Ungar to the north tower's Oscar Madison. Would have liked to see a small shimmy in Felix, but it's okay - I'm glad Oscar keeps his dishevelled manner. It is more exciting and the contrast keeps it lively.

We have a new story on this project. Now at 25 storeys! http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2015/08/cresfords-1thousand-bay-growing-skyward-central-toronto

It was difficult to tell how this was going to turn out with just the nighttime renderings, but the materials look high-quality. Great addition to Bay!

The black glass looks really sharp. Too bad INDX doesn't have similar glazing.

Have you seen either in person? 1thousand bay is turning out great but the black on INDX is more striking. Perhaps not as reflective but definitely more striking as far as colour intensity. The recessed rectangle black portions on INDX are actually a very dark purple which doesn't translate in photos usually.

I do think this is looking great though the offset floor balconies are an awesome touch.

 

[Armour]

INDX has window wall; this has curtain wall. There's no competition.

Actually, curtain wall is only used on the 2nd and 3rd floors on the front of the building.
The rest of the building is window wall which makes sense as the entire building has wrap around balconies.

 

[Armour]

Either way, the glass is of higher quality on this building.

 

[stjames2queenwest]

got it.

Balcony glass on the south side.
