LETTERS Glebe Report April 13, 2007 5 Death by 1000 cuts Dear Editor, Glebe Report, Again the Glebe is taking another shot in its slow demise as an enclave within the chaos of urban Ottawa. The proposed commercial/condo building being built as Domicile "g" on Bank Street between Strathcona and Patterson represents yet another uncaring architect's view of Ottawa's direction. As per the misleading artistic renditions of their sales website at "domicile.ca" it is easy to see we are about to receive yet another eyesore on our main street. The respect due for a beautiful neighbourhood such as ours has been reject- ed again with a minimalist approach to provide the least amount of substance for the most amount of return. Gone are any efforts to respect the Victorian treasures of the surrounding buildings. No efforts to harmonize with cut stone surrounds, gothic details, heritage components and stately facades. The actu- al text of Domicile's sales page identifies building construction of "a combi- nation of brick, aluminum panels and metal siding." What a wonderful pallet for the pending graffiti. The upper floors will have "their own patio with a concrete surface and maintenance-free bronze aluminum railings complete with glass panels." Now this will add warmth and character to any venue. Glebe Report Art Contest Along the continuous glass panels of the ground floor will be "clear anodized Deadline April 23, 2007 aluminum entrance doors" and "fixed sidelight windows."
