Is there another kind?
Look at this extremely ugly condo, placed into a Montreal neighbourhood on Pins Avenue. Obviously the developers had not considered the surround buildings (or just doesn't care. Clearly they used a design program limited only to cubes).
A commenter on the original story hits it on the head...
"This condo design goes completely counter to the architecture of the neighbourhood, where front gardens and staircases help create a street life that is people friendly. These new condos, and there are so many like them, are all interior-focussed. It’s all about self-referential design, display furniture, and underground parking. Part of me wonders what is drawing people with that kind of mind-set to the Plateau anyways. Wouldn’t they be happier in Brossard or Baie d’Urfe?"
Brossard or Baie d’Urfe are becoming too expensive. Anyway, who need 'em now we have an entire city to fuck over in our suburban image.
With the coming of Griffintown, Montreal ain't seen nothing yet.
