Hat at Five Corners | ?m | 24s | Cidex Group

It's all 'bout da base, 'bout da base, 'bout da base -- podium makes the whole thing work.

 

[Abba]

Agreed, @archited

Forget the top hat... It's All About That Base at Five Corners

I think I enjoy the backside of the podium more than the front

Ok, speaking of the hat, I hadn't noticed that they didn't have the glass installed on the penthouse balconies, or did last night's storm blow them out, haha.

For a second I thought it was bronze glassed balcony's and wasn't hating it against the black!

@danby85 I thought the same thing until I squinted really hard and then realised it was cheap old OSB. I, too, got excited for a moment thinking that this brass-coloured infill panel set off beautifully against the black background. Ah well, another dashed dream!

At the very least, they could've used brass coloured exhaust pipes on the roof for a contrast lol. Those look terrible on top - like aluminum worms. Should be covered with a screen or something.

^ It does look bad. From higher up in my apartment, it looks like short curly white hairs. I figured those vent things were probably not that noticeable from ground level.

 

[Kaizen]

^ Great, now I see curly nose hairs or worms whenever I look at the Hat, ahh! Never look up at the hat up close. Brass coloured panels would have been great though.

Meh. She beats a hole in the ground?
That red sculpture thing out front is so weird. It looks like a Holy Ghost stuck on its head.

 

[Kaizen]

Those potential sunset skyline photos from up on the amenity deck, oh my.

I hope EPCOR buries those power lines once LRT construction is complete, because they are ruining the view of the shiny new tower!

@Nosirrah I imagine they'll go when the Jasper Ave redo reaches this intersection.
