I see what you mean. I wish that buildings would be responsive to historical trends on entry design from nearby buildings. An angled, recessed entry was common and would be cool to see more of. This design is kind of doing that with the lower brick columns, but only somewhat. Here is what im...

Agreed this turned out great. As i have said a lot i hate Hardie Panel and EZ Trim, but just getting the primed materials and painting it on-site made those sections of building look far better.

Ugh fix Macleod as each development happens. Great building but a terrible sidewalk with no street trees and just no thought from the City on designing a hospitable public realm for those on foot.

I heard about this one a couple months ago ago it’s Brad Lamb. If the design stays brick this is awesome. And agreed on the excessive surface parking, it’s probably cheaper to pave above the Parkade than to waterproof it and add soil depth for landscaping and they prob want excess parking for...

Dang that makes sense. Maybe a curtain wall system with a look more similar to this: Something like this could suffice too: Either way, wishing Dream success on this one and hoping to see it turn out great

Ok Dream, it’s really easy to execute this one. Only replace the windows, nothing else. Replace the windows with Duxton Windows Fixed and Euro Tilt and Turn models, and if the tilt and turn isn’t in the budget Casement will do. The windows need to be in the Bronze colour for all of them, don’t...

Having spent a reasonable amount of time in Denmark and particularly Copenhagen, I would say that Denmark is mostly socially liberal and permissive as you can see with places like Freetown, Christiania. However, in the same vain I would say that Danes are culturally protective and require people...

Well you know what they say, Towers and surface parking, truly a match made in heaven. The execution on the landscaping of the first phase of the project was absolutely gorgeous, they can definitely build on the success of that project. The attention to detail in the execution of architecture...

This is just my opinion, but I think some of the issue comes from many of the 'modern' styles using materials and designs that lack any basis in proportions or good design from the past. And a lot of the modern materials really degrade the look. Vernacular architecture and having a building that...

If it's getting replaced, I want to see something like this: and link: https://phillyyimby.com/2023/03/construction-complete-at-the-bordeaux-in-brewerytown-north-philadelphia.html

Love this. Beside the 'BRIDGELAND' letters on memorial and 9th they should have a huge illuminated sign for "ARBY'S THIS WAY! WE"VE GOT THE MEATS!" to round this proposal out

That building is really cool, I like it a lot. Cool material choices and a clever way to approach the 5.182m public realm setback. Nice work FAAS and kudos whoever the builder/developer is.

H Mart is useful I went there a lot

Nice, Anian rules.

Was down there this weekend and although it is a mess short term, boy are these public realm changes a major improvement. Happy to see it when its all done and want to see more of this

With all of the new developments happening on 16 Ave N and Macleod Trail recently, it is becoming increasingly important for the City of Calgary to create and complete well-thought out Streetscape Master Plans for these areas. Not only for the developments that are in the pipeline now, but to...

It is why i shit post about materials, eventually when i scream into the void someone might listen haha. I'm a firm believer that good design doesn't have to be expensive just requires some extra thought

I really want to see them build out a year round fair ground and place for entertainment that integrates with the City. Best I've been to and what I would hope to see something similar to is Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen. Here is a comparison of the land that Tivoli gardens takes up compared to...

Somewhat off topic. What do you all think should happen with the Hudson Bay building considering its floor plate size and with the new HBC announcement?

Try to use it. They added one to a Crowchild overpass too and it is bad, I have tried to use it. Here is a streetview showing it: Just goes to show it was a lipstick improvement made by someone who has never used one of these before and drives everywhere. I mean good on them for trying and...
