So, that felt blob I was telling you about? Well It was given a site the other day and this is it. 11 Ft of beautiful Queen Street West frontage and forming an L shape around the TD bank. We have to adapt the schematic ideas as laid out in our felt model, with special attention to the way connections/transitions were made and squeeze them into the site. We can't overhang the bank like this beauty going on downtown, but we can go below grade which is nice. So after building a 1:100 site model [read a 1/1ooth scale 3D rough construction out of mat board of the adjacent buildings] I have to come up with a system for my building to work in this site. There's a house in the back [the red thing through the trees] but we don't have to worry too much about zoning issues just yet; we just can't go any higher than the buildings on the street [ 3 floors]. Oh, and the studio supervisor told us the workload experienced thus far was "just a warm up" to what we are about to experience in the next few weeks.
