^ all of those would be better with a widow's walk at the top.
...the smaller building doesn't have to look like an addition to Wellburn's, and having it so matchy-matchy makes for a boring and forgettable streetscape...
I guess one person's matchy-matchy is another person's complimentary. From what little detail I can see of the shorter new building (especially in the nearly colourless rendering above), I mostly like the way it looks. As aastra mentioned earlier, the vertical windows are a particularly nice touch. I think I will wait to see further detailed renderings before I pass judgement on this proposal.
NPNA is hoping for another CALUC meeting (following the redesign) in March...
I guess that gives them time to sharpen their pitchforks and refuel their torches.
If anyone is interested, the meeting minutes/notes from the CALCUC meeting on March 20 are available here: http://npna.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/NPNA-CALUC-minutes-1050-Pandora-and-1518-Cook-20Mar-2019.pdf
