You think they noticed the east facade design is all screwed up and isnt like in the plan? lmao

hno:

 

[arzaranh]

um... i don't see it.

 

[Habfanman]

???

 

[PaulWW]

um... i don't see it.

just below the solarium.... the design on the facade... (the dark lines) ... compare it to the original design in the second pic... its not symetric and kinda messed up..

(ps.. click on the thumbnail for a bigger pic)

 

[Habfanman]

Ahhh.. maybe they tweaked the plan slightly?

 

[PaulWW]

Ahhh.. maybe they tweaked the plan slightly?

so it could be unsymmetrical? thats not the place to make a Picasso hehe

The original design was much better

 

[habsfan]

True, the lines aren'T symetrical, but I don't think it'll ruin the building. Wait til the rest of it is completed and I think we'll all agree that this will be a decent building!

 

[Ashok]

It could also be the rendering is not updated. But if that is not the case, it a big bo boo. The designers can be picky and ask them to redo it??

 

[MTLskyline]

They ought to sell that blank wall for advertisement.

 

[althegreat]

noticed it too today. botched.


im very disappointed by the whole job altogether, although ill take its height and the diasappearance of that trencg any day!

 

[skyboi]

Why are you disappointed the whole job together ? I walk passed this site last summer for my Montreal visist I saw them were just about to finish the basement and now this is like more than half already a fews missing lines on the wall don't really change the whole structure of the building that's what it counts for , since the building is still u/c there still time to fix it ,that seems to be just minor mistake or maybe they changed the design of the wall who knows (?)

 

[Taller Better]

Designs often get tweaked along the way and wind up being slightly different from the original plan. This one should look very nice when it is finished.

let me rephrase...


I am happy that its been built. yes.
I like the height,
I'm glad the huge trench that was there before has gone.

Having said this I'm happy about le 400. It complements the Sherbrooke canyon even further!

BUT the materials used are the same cheap-ass prefab concrete that we've unfortunately seen with le Roc Fleuri, les lepines etc...

And I'm not a fan of the windowless, abstract eastern facade.

Has construction of this rowscraper halted? How come its husk for this long a period now? :?

 

[malek]

its not halted, check www.mtlurb.com for the latest pics.

Its topped and cladding is under way.

 

[trainrover]

^^ Your linked lumped me some electronic doormat.....I saw nothing like the shell that seems to have sat dormant the longest time now....."topped" makes it sound like the crane oughta've been removed by now...in case I've my to-be hotel names all mixed up, the one near Hutchinson on W Sherbrooke is the stall I'm querying here.

 

[skyboi]

Yes the last upper floors have taken a bit long to get there but it looks topped out with the top narrowed in , maybe there's still some more works being done before they completly taken the crane off , I can see it clearly from place des art square every time I have my lunch there

 

[malek]

obviously they are using the crane to put the concrete building sidings...

 

[trainrover]

^^ yeah, well --errr-- it really took me one more week for that to dawn on me Nice now, to be noticing its progress coz the prospect of another stagnant shell of some highrise is nasty.

Sadly, I find its over-reaching height intolerably merciless...it doesn't fit in well there.
