Toronto's iconic skyline is getting giant maple leaf patterns on the Canada House development, adding to the city's brand recognition. The patterns are gradually emerging on the towers of the development, which will eventually be illuminated at night, giving the skyline a glowing maple leaf effect.
As if Toronto's skyline didn't have enough brand recognition in the iconic CN Tower, the city is now getting giant maple leaf patterns that will be forever emblazoned on postcard views of the 6ix.
Canada House's pair of Arcadis/IBI Group-designed towers are well on their way to heights of 74 and 64 storeys, and will be some of the most prominent points on the skyline outside of the Financial District once topped out at 232 and 209 metres. Compared with the current state, the motif will be much more prominent on the finished product. The forthcoming addition of balcony cladding will close in gaps in the pattern, which will eventually be illuminated at night, giving the skyline a glowing maple leaf.
The enormous maple leaf motif is just one of many themes, or gimmicks if you want to get cynical, tying the project's design in with Canadiana.
