I'm all for good architecture, and this modern design has its place, but not in Parkdale or any neighbourhood that has a specific traditional character and aesthetic style. Otherwise well designed homes like this look abysmal among houses of stone and brick. Isn't the job of the architect to ensure first and foremost that the building works with surrounding environment? Well-designed homes like this are unfortunate eyesores when they're not in aesthetic context. Toronto's once cohesively designed neighbourhoods have become a hodgepodge of houses that appear to ignore everything and everyone else around them.
