B.4. Stables at Mayfair (Development Permit)
10008 109 Street NW
Jenny Korol - Manasc Isaac

MOVED: M. Figueira Motion of non-support.

The Committee feels the architectural language of the submission is disjointed and does not reflect the level of resolution or detailing expected of a formal submission to the Edmonton Design Committee.

While the Committee commends the Applicant for introducing a number of innovative program elements and design gestures, considerable architectural resolution and detailing is required to yield a more integrated, singular and refined design expression that responds to the varying context (street, alley and park). These program elements and design gestures include:
● Ground floor retail
● Parkade screening
● Glass stairwell
● Public art
● Use of colour
● Photovoltaic panels
● Rooftop residential units

SECONDED: A. Zepp
CARRIED
FOR THE MOTION: R. Labonte, C. Craig, T. Antoniuk, D. Deshpande, M. Figueira, S. Kaznacheeva, A. Rowe, A. Zepp

That's right!

 

[westcoastjos]

That's right!

Sounds like they support it in theory though.

 

[archited]

Oh Yeah, @westcoastjos, a worthwhile venture -- just not properly thought out. They'll get there.

...I have no idea what they're doing anymore. This is just awful and keeps getting worse the more I study it.

 

[westcoastjos]

Yikes. It was better before. Much better.

Who let the intern take a stab?

 

[archited]

They threw the good part out and decided to put lipstick on the pig. The City needs to quickly develop a policy that states no more above-grade parking structures. I get that Procura sees an advantage in building out parking in this particular area, but OMG, this is absolutely abhorrent. No wonder the Design Committee choked on this.

[Marcanadian]

Has the flatiron tower been ditched from the plan?

 

[Daveography]

@Marcanadian I think they are actually separate plans, now. I thought they would be built together when the initial information came out.

 

[crisp]

IMO the nicest parkade I have seen is the Calgary parking authority building. Would look much better than this crap we are seeing, why are architects so unwilling to do some retro designs?

 

[Das Ponto]

Wow that is bad lol

I liked the idea of a flatiron building here, but both those parkades are atrocious.

 

[Platinum107]

So they still are planning to build the Bonnie and Flatiron tower?

 

[Daveography]

@Platinum107 Yes, just in different phases.
