The lot at 681 Somerset West sat vacant for most of the 20th Century. Then, at some point during the 1990s, this boxy little affair popped up. I've shot it from the side to show off its unabashed reliance on cinder-block construction.
The front (south) facade features modern window treatments, inset balconies, and a brick veneer. The ground floor hosts two shops, a herbalist and a gift shop, the upper two storeys are residential. Scale is entirely in keeping with the neighbourhood.
