I mean it's clearly invisible in that last shot. And it's not great.

This is another file which has suffered from "delayed project creates hyper value engineering" by the looks of it.

/Fixed for ya...

...but I get your point. /sigh

Should have painted it red - that seems to be the current heritage "restoration" trend.

Overall, it’s turning out better than I expected. Which is not to say I love the balcony design or don’t wish they had done something more sympathetic with the beautiful old buildings. But it has some nice qualities and isn’t a stinker.

I don’t mind the balcony design, I just wish they’d made the balcony guards opaque (white I guess, although baby blue probably would look dope) as opposed to clear glass. Otherwise, cladding and glazing are indeed looking pretty sharp on this. I’ll take a well-executed uninspired design over something bold and cheaply clad any day.
