On: “The Wall” Housing Structure In Fermont, Quebec

[emrex]

Correct me if I am wrong but the number of floors does not meet the 50m height at all !!!

Looks like it may have been a mistranslation of sorts with a 5-0 ft wall

[maxerickson → rand85632]

Wikipedia has the 50 meters and cites an article from 2006 for it:

Wanted to say maybe 50 feet but since I never measured with feet I was not confident enough.

[maxerickson → emrex]

The building stories are a good reference, they will be close enough to 10-11 feet most of the time.

[aaron_m04 → emrex]

It looks closer to 20m to me.

[emrex → aaron_m04]

Since can not bee sure about the floor standard I would say also between 20 to 25 at most.

[francislavoie → emrex]

It might be measured from the basement floors up

[vidarh → francislavoie]

Or someone has confused meters and feet.

[francislavoie → vidarh]

Yeah, sounds about right. 50 feet = 15 meters.

[jaclaz → francislavoie]

Yes, 5 storeys x 3 meters = 15 metres, it sounds right.

[mypalmike → francislavoie]

That's a lot of basement.
