Definitely the most striking
aspect of SHoP's design is the facade, one that relates to
the existing variously-sized window openings while also departing
from the original in its contemporary aesthetic. The exterior
wall is made up of three components: zinc metal panels, full-height
windows, and internally-mounted light boxes. This last element
gives the Porter House Condos - named after a cut of meat
to relate to the district's past - its image, particularly
at night when the area comes alive with its numerous bars,
restaurants, and clubs.
