Merci Le Condominium

Kitschy pastiche of styles
It's a kitschy pastiche of styles, but it is balanced. As for "humane", it's hard to know what to do with a vague characteristic like that one. The massing is good. I really dislike pastiche buildings clad in precast concrete that lack even the balance that their conservative approach promises, let alone the artful details expected with a revival style. To me, precast screams of cheapness in these kinds of buildings where stone is the traditional cladding material. This condominium is balanced but it can never be more than an imitation, a building on the sidelines of architecture staking no claim to the forefront.

Lower part is better
The lower part is better than the higher side. Still missing a green area.

What happened?
It's balanced, bright, happy, could survive a Toronto January, doesn't look cheap, is humane.
This is unheard-of. This is gorgeous by Toronto standards.
