Toronto Origami Lofts Condos | 22.55m | 7s | Symmetry | Teeple Architects

I agree with you that the effect is stronger as presented. The zinc cladding feels like an added layer this way, like a decorative carapace. If the cladding totally engulfed the building it would just feel like, well like cladding. Keep it as is.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Cute little project. The cladding looks like the ROM in the rendering.

Sneak peek at the prelim Teeple render of the updated design for Origami. Rear facade, looking east.

Looking good. Any way of making that white North facing wall more interesting?

 

[urbandreamer]

An origami-sculpture (metal lattice perhaps?) by a local artist on that blank space? (It's the garage entrance though, right?) Love the angled back away from the houses next door....

 

[symmetrydev]

More interesting than this?

 

[urbandreamer]

Wow. That's hot!

 

[GraceCondos]

Touché! I'm just talking about the first floor white wall. But maybe that's the garage entrance area as UD mentioned.

 

[symmetrydev]

The white wall's just part of the massing and yes, it'll contain the garage entrance. It's an early architect's render, so sans details at this point.

This is sexy, and I'm even more excited because it seems Bathurst has been getting all these great midrise proposals as of late. The transformation continues.

Feelin' pretty Tokyo.

Thanks again. Very nice treatment to a facade that's usually badly handled.
