Haha this is getting ridiculous. We need a design council implemented as soon as possibly. Obviously Kitcheners design standards and Zoning are not going to work.
This tower wouldn't look AS bad if they just got rid of the unnecessary step backs and just kept the design of floors Four-eighth all the way up the tower. It would still be a grey bunker, but at least its design would be coherent.
There are a few reasons why this tower is a mess, but the main reasons are, the City has designated the row houses heritage, a tower was originally proposed five years ago, and the original proposal was for no parking but NIMBY's cried wolf demanding a parking. Developers and architects in this region refuse to design a good looking parking podium.
