Wow I have not posted in a while, but couldn't pass this up.
I knew this one was not going to be a show stopper but come on.
Does Drewlo actually have an architect design for them or is it just in house?
This is an awful design in all aspects. It is a good thing this building will add density and retail because other than that this is not a good addition to downtown kitchener. I know that not every building can be a winner. But look at the building on weber. Cheep precast with a little thought when it came to design and IMOP it is turning out to be one of the nicer buildings in downtown.
The colours are atrocious., brown, black and white. Most definitely an EIFS buildings, so if you think it looks bad now. Wait for the colours to fad in 1-5 years. I also don't understand why developers can't just build something with a uniformed shape all the way up? Why randomly change the for the last 5 floors? This seems to be a common theme in KW recently.
Still not a great design, but a little uniformity would have made these building a lot better in my opinion.

The podium is a joke. Not even sure how to handle this.
How can we be so close to Toronto yet produce buildings that look like hamilton in the 80's?
Sorry for the rant. Hope everyone is staying healthy and busy during the Quarantine.
