Les entrées sont étroites, la façade offre peu de relief et aucun ornement autour des fenêtres ou de la corniche.
On ne peut pas appeller ça une belle réalisation.
The entrances are too narrow and cave-like.
I really don’t know what to say… it’s ugly but slightly better? More trees? What are the urban planning rules like in Montreal?
Do you really think it’s only slightly better than an empty lot with a garage?
C’est à pleurer, surtout quand on compare à l’item suivant sur le blog, la photo de la coupole de l’école. C’est vraiment un autre univers où on ne parlait pas de qualité de vie, on la faisait.
Okay, it’s not an expensive public building with a cupola or large tree-lined lawn. But it looks like pretty decent housing for people without much money.
It compares well with the residential buildings behind it and in the immediate vicinity.
This is not social housing, it’s condo.
“But it looks like pretty decent housing for people without much money.”
For all we know, the apartments *from the inside* could be absolutely spectacular.
No matter who lives there, the whole neighbourhood (rich and poor) suffers when nasty buildings emerge.
Sure this thing is slightly better than an empty gas station parking lot…
However, this is the kind of building that makes arguments for “density” and buildings “close to the sidewalk” difficult to sustain…
This box could have been set back a meter or two and could use a few more trees.
