The triangular footprint of the tower which sticks to the grid on the south face and angles away on the east face to favour the curves of Queens Park Circle (and the OP office in front). This block is pretty spectacular already with the MaRS Discovery District (and the beautiful Toronto General Hospital reno seen below), the (subtle but surprising) Foster, the provincial legislature buildings etc. The jury’s out on whether the massive truncated pyramids of the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Centre (u/c) will fit in rather than overwhelm the area.
