The proponents have increased the building height to six-storeys (18.73 meters) and have reduced parking spaces from 12 to 10.

Sorry, reappraisal?
I've put in a request for more information from the architect.

Oh I see. It's gone before council. Planners approve of the changes and urge council to do the same. I'm unclear as to whether or not council approved the changes last week.
Just to reiterate, the change is from five to six floors with the sixth floor being recessed some seven meters from the frontage.

- removal of two parking stalls and replacing these with 16 secure bicycle storage racks (2 of which have been relocated from the basement)
All these developments with hardly any parking and bike storage out the ying yang. There's definitely a relationship between recent development and essentially forcing people to bike or walk (or Modo but you can't do that every day). You'd almost think it was in developers' best interests to have better bike infrastructure in town if they want to keep pushing bikes as an alternative to providing ample parking.

Approvals sought for amended Chinatown condo proposal at 613 Herald Street
http://victoria.citi...-herald-street/
A revised proposal for a six-storey mixed-use 32 unit condo and ground floor commercial development at 613 Herald Street in Victoria's Chinatown district will be before City of Victoria in the coming weeks.
Project architect Peter Hardcastle, Principal at Hillel Architecture of Victoria, cited community feedback as the driver of design improvements that have allowed the development concept, formerly known as Kunju Residences, to mesh into the existing fabric of the neighbourhood. [Full article]

Do you have a direct front photo? I'm curious how the smaller parking entry looks.

Almost ten years this thing has been passed around various architects and City Hall and it looks it.

Different shades of lipstick on a pig.
My favourite one actually is the one with 600% of the daily pedestrian traffic on Herald, including the only child to have ever walked on this street.

This no knock against Hardcastle, he's doing the best with what he's given considering the circumstances, I think it's just a conflict of visions. D'Ambrosio wanted a jewel, an eye-catching piece of Asian-inspired modernism sandwiched between two big "heritage influenced" condos.
What others wanted was more like filler, something that contained elements from its surroundings like camouflage so that it blended in seamlessly without drawing attention.
