🍁 When developers care, they look to distinguish their projects from the ones around them, spending on architects and architecture what it takes to set the building apart. In this image by #UTForum contributor DavidCapizzano, the red brick, Edwardian commercial, 1906-built Queen Richmond Centre is marked by a degree of detail that we do not see in today's architecture. The building is what we refer to now as human scale, and while not ornate in comparison to Baroque architecture, its design gestures are meant to be appreciated from the street. Behind it several blocks to the south along the waterfront, stands the paired towers of Sugar Wharf Condominiums Phase 1, which at many times the size, can be seen from much further away. Their major gesture — balcony guards designed to look like passing clouds — are meant to be read on a city-wide scale. On the right side of the image are the Modern, mid-completion buildings of 88 Queen and Elm — Ledbury, which meld the two approaches, applying street-level detail to the podium levels, whether through fins or brick, but simplifying their use through broader strokes, reflecting the large scale of the buildings. It all makes for a compellingly framed vignette of the central city. https://lnkd.in/gy73RSjA #Toronto #architecture #development

🏙 Not all future homes have to be made entirely of glass and metal. We are excited by the idea that we have a role to play in shaping the new designs and retrofitting of houses, workplaces, community spaces, and heritage buildings to better align with the environment and our lifestyles. This will look different for each of us, and we find that prospect immensely intriguing. 🌲Here's one example of a home that is styled to work with, not against, nature. 🦋 📍 Far End, residential 📐 Peter Feeny Architects 📷 Rafael Debreu and Ondrej Mundl. #ecoconstruction #homesofthefuture #ecoarchitecture

This window perfectly represents what we love about this property: the clean, modern lines of the black timber-framed window is almost acting like a picture frame. With the Harringworth Viaduct crossing the River Welland between Harringworth, in Northamptonshire, and Seaton, in Rutland, it's a really special backdrop. Our job, when we have the opportunity to focus on such a view, is to realise why our clients buy such properties – and with good reason. A view allows you to always be looking out, away, and not having to look down or around. There's a human, hopeful prospect when you live with a view. 🌄☀ #Architecture #BuildingDesign #ContemporaryArchitecture #InteriorSpaces
