Shaw & Yarmouth – a second shot

So here’s another photo of the little heightening project at Shaw & Yarmouth shown from the side in the last post (Development in Toronto Part IV – Heightening). I don’t know if it’s a much better photo, but you can more clearly see the extra storey in comparison to the left-hand part of the building.

For those familiar with Shaw Street, you’ll recognize this little gem just further south on the same block. Nothing like a little variety added to the nondescript streetscape!

I love that Greek paradise house! I would often bike down past the elephant lawn statue and then go past the paradise house. It’s nice to have a bit of variety in a daily commute. I like the looks of that extension too.

Have you seen some of the extensions in Kensington Market? There’s a nice one on Baldwin, near Augusta where they put in a nice rooftop patio with a great view of the entire market.
