It needs a reskin, badly. I'm okay with the form now, but that paneling is what's holding it back in my opinion.

Ah yes, the "Good Enough For Edmonton" guy. Very popular around these parts.

Oops, totally missed that

Isn't that what we're getting? The render that @Abba posted says Regency on it.

I used to work at Weber Motors once upon a time and always thought it was a unique design to have a car dealership in the podium of an office tower. I do quite like the colour choice for the redesign!

Oh man, that would be a dream come true. I really hope we can woo them up here.

Sometimes I really question whether Mr. Der and his associates are colour blind or not.

Quite like the colour scheme on this one.

Has there been any more detailed renderings released of this one? Interested to see the concept.

Name change to DavidO, stat!

I think a name change is in order for me... "Cementitious"

I like the wood used on the balconies.

Good thing it's completely recyclable because I hope sooner not later it gets replaced with something better.

Previous podium was way better in my opinion. But it seems to be mandatory to add the "Edmonton Spec" brick so I can understand why they had to make the updates.

Didn't Gene Dub do the original design on the UCAMA? I seem to remember it being on his website and now it's gone.

10-12 years ago Edmonton dreamed of spandrel, we'd had enough of stucco. It feels like we're in a bit of a privileged position now to be over spandrel.

I wonder what the hold up is on the podium? I've been interested to see the materials they use compared to the renders for a while now.

I personally can't wait to get a personal tour of @archited 's office space when it's built.

I've got to say though, do we really have to contextualize with adjacent residential buildings? Especially THOSE residential buildings? There's nothing wrong in my mind with making a stand out design that's unique to the area, that can still respect its surroundings.

I agree, would rather delay the plan instead of "value engineering" it. We've all seen what happens here when we do that.
