X definitely looks much better from the north or south. From the east or west it's very wide.

^Yeah, yesterday found me in exact same spot: first time in ages. Lucky I always have my camera with me.
Unluckily, shot didn't turn out so great thanks to bright sunshine. But, here y'all go...:
Damn what a hottie!
And approaching Bloor from Mt P:

WOW!... Insane shots!!!
The glass actually looks nice that day!... I haven't seen it that nice before!
*X condo for some reason looks ALOT shorter than it actually is

The balconies should have had the same black cladding.

It does have the same black cladding, look closely at the lower floors for a glimpse

Thanks. I was going to say the undersides should have the black cladding as well (or paint), but this might just be enough. We'll see.

black balcony underside would be too dark and make the inset balconies feel very claustrophobic; as well as minimize any reflecting light into the units.

With regards to the convorsation about looking better from the N & S, I agree fully. I was going north on Jarvis at night and my God this tower looks sharp!

Wonderful juxtaposition:
I am actually shocked at how much thought has gone into the architectural detailing of this tower. The way the balconies were handled is an A+. It really shows that the architect knew how to stress the verticality. I can't even imagine how Mies himself could have done a better interpretation of his black skyscraper with the adaptation of adding balconies into the design. It would have been safer to forego the balconies but they've made it work here.

Great shots!
And... to be honest.... the mechanical floors at the top actually make the building more interesting and less plain lol!... yeah... I'm not a fan of X's design... it's a little too plain.....
