Le Saint-Martin - 15 étages (2010)

Merci pour les photos. Mais bon Dieu que cet immeuble est laid. Ouache. À vomir.

 

Tout à fait, et ce l'est encore plus lorsque l'on marche sur Mansfield direction nord... les murs aveugles sont une horreur.

it's gross, but once the other one is sort of looming over top, a very jumbled, piled-up "big city" aesthetic might occur.

You might be right. Let's hope that 900 de Maisonneuve is built so it'll hide this building a little!

Je viens de passer devant en montant metcalfe, bien que ca ne soit pas le plus bel immeuble de cet angle, il est quand meme bien de leur part d'avoir mis un certain souci du détail dans le mur aveugle en y incorporant le motif, le "wrap" des cotés en bois, ca le rend tout de même mieux que s'ils n'avaient fait qu'un mur de béton

My exact hope. If we do get a glass curtail wall tower from Hines, I think it'll be quite interesting. Such a building desing should consider making the de Maisonneuve side retail and the office building entrance on Mansfield.

5 more floors and it would of been decent.. i dont know what these people were thinking

What really pisses me off about groups like Heritage Montreal is that they don't work for quality architecture, all they want are short buildings. I'm sure that in Vancouver, a building like this could have been avoided because of their architectural (not height) standards.

totally agreed.

there is huge problem in montreal with modern architecture - i dont mind having a city that does not look like the Arab Emirates but for the love of god find me good architects!

 

look at Berlin!

I'm just an amateur architect, but even *I* could do significantly better... hell i'd have produced a better design in 8 hours work free of charge! As i'm sure many architects around here could as well!

 

Don't get me wrong, i'm happy to have this building... it's better than nothing at all, but so far i'm a little disappointed. I'm going to wait until it's 100% complete. Perhaps on a nice summer's day it won't look so bad.

Tu vois, moi j'aurais préféré "rien" plutôt que ce bâtiment. J'aurais accepté un Ben's abandonné quelques années mais un beau développement plus tard.
