Zibi is gracefully meeting their legally required CharcWart content in the NCR.

Next time you're out in Kanata take a look at what they are doing to the Holiday Inn at Centrum (near the Qway).

I didn't get a chance to take a photo but the are going Charcwhite

[J.OT13]

Oh no. The Holiday Inn is (was?) not a nice building, but at least it was different. Disappointed to hear it is being reclad to become yet another bland monochromatic block.

[Harley613]

Oh man.Second reclad for this one too, it was reclad right after it was built due to issues with either the materials or the workmanship, I can't recall which one.

Do we know what it looked like originally? I think it was built around 1999 (looks like a construction side in that very poor quality satellite view on GeoOttawa).

IIRC exactly the same, it was basically a 'warranty' reclad.

Oh man I always liked that one. It felt very southern-US with its roofline and colours.

Oh dear God, that's ugly!

I certainly hope they aren't done. If they leave the sides and part of the roof orange, just makes it far worse.

Its still being worked on...no orange brick will be left. Drove by it last night they are working on the side near Graffiti's right now.

They're moving away from the orange/brown...even something as recent as Gatineau was proposed with brown stripes...then built with black

Are we having fun yet?

[J.OT13]

Why are you posting the same budling over and over again?

I could almost believe these are just different angles of the exact same building... if only.

[Davis137]

The Revalie on Brookfield almost falls into the same class of building, as it's exterior cladding is close to all of the other buildings you highlighted in this thread already.

Wonder if the same will happen with the Brigil redevelopment of the Riverside Mall on Ridgewood...

[Harley613]

I guess someone was inspired

Shockingly, their pick-up truck is a an actual colour.

I've see mid-century bungalows "modernized" with such a terrible treatment, or added to with charchwhite additions, but never see a "modern" (I consider anything from the mid-80s to today "modern") suburban home like this,
