Is it commonly accepted that city planners prefer subway entrances/exits to be inside buildings to save on sidewalk space? As a subway user, I generally prefer entrances outside of buildings and they're easier to find.

I would expect the restaurants and stores in the building to also not be open much after 5pm as they'll be servicing the tenants of the building not the occasional straggler en route to the subway.

I also don't know if this affects how the building interacts with the public school right behind it but that penned in playground always strikes me as somewhat dystopian.
 
Site Plan Approval application submitted:

Development Applications

Updated project description:
Site Plan Approval for the retention and modifications to the existing 19-storey office building to incorporate a 5-storey addition to the building, and to construct a new 56-storey residential tower containing 475 residential rental dwelling units located at the southwest portion of the site. The proposed residential gross floor area is 39,247.00 square metres, and the proposed new non-residential floor area is 29,797 square metres, for a total of 131,193.0 square metres of non-residential gross floor area.
 
What they've designed at the base works well. It's the tower that looks disjointed. That slab doesn't work with the existing curved building.
 
Adamson are still involved - their name is right there below KPMBs
