^ seems to distract the eye which is quite humane.

Looking up an onion chopper/egg slicer.

Yeah, looks cluttered and the faint colours can't compete against the red spandrels.

 

[LUVIT!]

I find it quite interesting actually.

Ive passed by it...it looks busy and like a rushed idea, a half baked attempt at public art that doesnt mesh well....not that ANYTHING with this project mesges well.

Here's one of the first images I've seen of the infinity pool at the top. I definitely prefer the clear windows here, rather than the red-tinted glazing in E Condos.

For a $2M penthouse suite, I'd prefer that the views were not obstructed by a bunch of mullions.

And the kitchen is about as spacious as one from a studio apartment.

What an awful penthouse, though it is fitting for this....monstrosity.

2 million dollars and the kitchen light fixture is from IKEA? I will pass thankyouverymuch

(not to diss my love IKEA but for that price I'd expect something a little more premium)

I like the industrial grade ceiling and wall vents. It gives it a "your neighbour is a woodworking shop" feel to it...

I agree w/the critiques above.

But have to add, the first thing to catch my eye was the awkward placement of the pendant light relative to how the furniture is staged.

It's not centred over the counter; or a table or just about anything really......that feels completely off to me.

****

Also, I know designers seem to have gone off them.............but I don't get the whole fireplace without a mantle thing.

It can be big old timber; or subtle and streamlined.

But not only does it serve to highlight the fireplace; it's also a great spot to put candles or some other small display items.

I find the bright white stone surround, flush fireplace and mantle-less wall rather cold and austere. But that's just personal taste I suppose.

If I were thinking of laying out $2M for a unit, I think I would be looking for a kitchen designed more clearly for actual, you know, cooking. At the very least I hope the vase is hiding another electrical outlet from our view.

Did you ever hear back @Northern Light?

So.....I must say, I did not find the Councillor's staff particularly helpful. Not that they were rude........but I think clueless might not be unfair..............

****

But..........while reading today's budget committee agenda; and scanning the capital budget carryovers.............I believe I found our answer....

This money was supposed to be spent last year and it's part of a report requesting carryover authority to be spent this year.
