Any reasons given for the changes?

If it were up to me, I'd push that glass block out to the line of the guardrail and return it back into the building. That would more emphasize the feature, as well as adding some floorspace to the suite.

Overall I think the new design is growing on me.

the project will be on the agenda for a joint Heritage / Design meeting at noon on October 8th [at City Hall].
It will be interesting to see how this new hybrid panel judges this design and the way it fits into Chinatown. The public can observe this meeting.

The main North Facade has been re-designed to create more emphasis on the vertical termination of the facade and to reduce the horizontal emphasis of the second and third storeys. The dimension of the fascias which form the roof line has been increased and the additional layer of sheet metal flashing creates a second shadow line. The visual dominance of the second and third storey 'frame' has been softened by disengaging the railings from the frame and by changing the colour from red to a dark charcoal grey. All railings on the main facade are now black painted steel pickets, with a finer scaling and more visual transparency.
On the East and West Facade, the masonry walls will be a charcoal-tinted concrete masonry unit with regular (non-tinted) CMU soldier coursing at the floor levels. The joints will be raked to emphasize the brick-like pattern of the CMUs, as discussed in the previous meeting. The client is arranging permission to plant ivy on adjacent properties for the exposed walls, both East and West facing, (as shown on the updated Landscape Concept Plan L1). A grid of metal pegs built into the side walls will serve as a structure to shape the ivy on the walls; the ivy will be clipped to rectangular shapes as shown on the revised elevations. The more rigid geometric shaping will reduce maintenance issues at the roof flashing as well as impart a more architectural expression to the ivy covered walls.

Great news! even better that the parking allowance has been provided.Article in the paper today on this that gives me hope for this council. They allowed the developer to reduce the parking requirement to 9 spaces because the developer will be provided a communal electric car. This essentially allows developers to use this as precendent and pulls us below the previous 66% parking requirement downtown to a more reasonable 33%
Yah Victoria!

I just hope they can keep that cool 7-UP painting. Maybe as the wall/backdrop for some ones patio!
You're thinking of the development next door not this one, and no, the courtyard opens up just to the left of the sign. There's a photo of the model on the project's website.

More info at www.kunju.ca
Is the building to the right of Kunju supposed to be 601 Herald, or are we seeing at a different proposal?
