Yes I forgot to watermark them, fixed now.

Great work koops. wish i could say you're going down but.. i've just been too lazy

Thanks... you should get back into it too. Honestly, when the diagram section was down I became pretty lazy myself, but now that it's back I'm right back into drawing again.

Koops, your drawings are great!

Can you identify these buildings? Their information is missing from the database.

Excellent ^^ *says goodbye to his* lol that's a really good drawing good job!!

EDIT: how long did the drawing take you to draw? just curious my 4:1 drawings usually take me 2 - 3 hours

Thanks. I found a super-sized render that really helped. It's hard to say because I've been working on it on-and-off for a few months now, since before the diagram section went down. Probably 20 or 25 hours altogether. Next I plan to work on the Ritz.

wow koops that's an incredible drawing!!

and thanks for the building info, all of you drawings are fixed now. :)

WHOAH!!!!!!!

Koops has a fan club!!!!! :D ... Count me in!!!!! :cheers:

AWESOME diagram contributions to skyscraperpage!!!!!!

U ROCK KOOPS :worship:

Good stuff. Good to see you're still plugging away. I haven't really been paying any attention to the diagrams being quite busy with other things.

Thanks Bob, I'm going to assume you're responsible for all the changes to the Toronto database I've noticed lately, including some new tall buildings like 44 Eglinton W and a severe reduction in the height of Market Wharf? What Happened to 306 Richmond?

199 Richmond has a new design and I'm hoping a new rendering comes out soon

199 Richmond St W

Les Klein of Quadrangle Architects presented Aspen Ridge Homes' revised proposal for 199 Richmond St W at Councillor Vaughan's King-Spadina Development meeting January 20. The original plan was for a 35 storey tower at the south-west corner of the site, along with an 18 storey S-shaped building.

Based on concerns about the mass of the building on the street and feedback from Planning staff that the warehouse character of the district should be reinforced, the proposal has been revised to include two 47-storey point towers with very small floorplates (535 sq m).

The towers will sit on an 8 storey podium and a 5 storey building on the north side of Nelson. The design of the building is aimed to be as light a structure as possible, with glass corners for lightness.

The project would be mixed use, with office space, retail and community space at the lower levels, and residential use above. The loading for the building will be done internally, with a 2nd storey landscaped courtyard above the loading zone. The north-south laneway separating the new building from 140 Simcoe St to the east would be widened to ensure that vehicles could easily enter the loading zone within the building.

Fifteen per cent of the units would be either 3 or 2 bedroom units plus den, to accommodate families. The proponents may also consider constructing the building in two phases, with one tower at a time. The project would also try to support the city's initiative to upgrade the pedestrian environment on Nelson Street with wide sidewalks and a double row of tree plantings.

koops, why don't you finish off the other Absolute World tower?? --> http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?searchID=44892022

Because I'm not at all impressed by the first one. It's one of my earliest drawings, done in basic MS paint. And now that the height has been revised upwards by a fair amount it needs to be re-made also. I'll get around to doing both soon enough, and its nice they're under constuction now so I can see what they really look like instead of looking at just renders.

Not much for 57 days... only 4 new buildings and 5 modifications.
I did not include Dubai Pearl since I'm not happy with how it turned out, needs to be tweaked some more... and the fact that it totally dwarfs these buildings. It's probably bigger than all of them put together!
