This weeks Photo Friday takes us 25 storeys above Toronto in the Lanterra built building know as Murano!  The Murano is made up of two towers (35 and 45 storeys respectively) that rise up from a two story podium along Bay St (north of College).  The developer was inspired by the “glass making” island off of Venice, aptly named: Murano! Architect Peter Clews definitely made the historic connection of island apparent with the fusion of glass cladding around both buildings!

The cladding allows for some of the most desirable sweeping views of the City. In the above picture (looking North East) you can see Casa and X condos emerging in the skyline! The North towers lobby is also quite significant with it’s two way fireplace, sitting area, library and travertine floors.  All of these elements are tied together by a beautiful blue and gold glass sculpture that greats residents and guests as the enter the building…just like the ones found in the art galleries of Venice.

I came up with the name “Business as Usual” for this photo because the breath taking views of Toronto are what I usually see on a daily basis!  If you’d like to buy a place with similar sights…give me a call or send me an email, I’d love to help!
