I believe those spandrel panels will fall behind the orange glass, no?

Yes. You must have missed the previous post.

Do we have any info about the opacity of the orange glass? I hope the mullions and white backing will be well hidden

The "spandrel" isn't glass. It doesn't have a finished metal look either. It will be covered.

I really like that perforated material above the window glass. That'd be spandrel on most new developments so it sure is a welcome departure.

That's how you do spandrel!

 

[torontologist]

That's how you do spandrel!

By covering it with something else?

My apologies, I hadn't read the rest of the thread. I'm okay with it being covered with orange glass.

I walk by here every day hoping to catch a glimpse of the orange glass being installed. I wonder if it will progress with the windows, or if it will all be installed after?

this side of the city has the best material/ colour variation.

It's actually pretty common to have venting across the top like that.
