The Cortes on King | 6 fl | Complete

[zanate]

This one is turning out better than I expected, although I'm not a fan of the raised ground floor with its attendant walls and ramp.  Is it economics that dictate this or is it something about the conditions at that location?  Red suffers from the same shortcoming, or at least what I see as a shortcoming.   If it were up to me, a building like this would have glassed in sunrooms rather than balconies on the King St facing side - a balcony looking out on heavy traffic and dust just doesn't seem very useful to me.

Well, it's definitely dusty right now, though I doubt there's much traffic.

I'm not sure. Depends on what you like. I could see these balconies having a cool urban feel-- some traffic, sure, but also the occasional train slipping gracefully by, and hopefully some people on the street. Might appeal to some.
