I unironically love this building. It's brutalist, but with flair; most (not all, but most) brutalist architecture is also minimalist, which I find depressing. This is brutalist but absolutely not minimalist; it's almost whimsical. I respect and applaud the architect for the wacky combination.

I wonder if it's technically Bauhaus; I'd expect more glass and less concrete.

Is there an architect in the audience?

i would assume the engineers werent to thrilled with this design either

Tradies thinking about all the OT they're gonna pull on this monstrosity

I would love to complain about working on this

This is one of my favourite buildings. It's all broken up from a distance, so it doesn't look like just another one of the blocky skyscrapers from that area, and the glass is all tinted sky blue so the amount of visual pollution it causes is so minimal.

I bet that place leaks.

Only for tenants who can afford custom made furniture.

Here's Montreal's version

There's usually listings on realtor.ca if you want to look inside, sometimes it's of units that have been kept as they were built!

We found the containment facility for SCP-106.

Also lets take a moment to appreciate the sheer waste of space that is this building. Sure, large concrete cubes are boring, they are however space efficient.

I really hope that by the time my kids grow up I hear the words "We need to go shopping, our new place feels so empty"

But it's so cool! It looks like some brutalist paranormal manifestation. Like, I bet the distorted part of the oldest house (from the game Control) looked like this from the outside.

If I were in trades, I would love working on things like this, because you couldn't just work on autopilot. You'd have to think about everything you were doing. That's much more engaging than, say, cutting a hundred 2x4s to all be exactly the same length.
