Damn, those pictures are excellent. They really show the finer details in this building. There's beautiful lines. I'm not quite sold on the 'heritage' component, but overall this is such a winner.

The heritage component compromised a bit too much on the original nature of the building in terms of changing the brick color and the gigantic openings at ground floor.
Have to say I think this is one of the better contemporary examples of a public art component actually being well integrated into the design of a building rather than a tacky, tacked-on afterthought, as is the so often in this city. Well done all around on this one.
This is my favorite project in the area and quite faithful to the renders. The downtown doesn't seem to have a lot of terminating vistas, or at least few that are taken advantage of architecturally- this looks great. I like the treatment of the west facade and the incorporation of the art component is clever and interesting.
