Balcony finish around the vertical stripes is finally getting done the way one would expect:

Still quite a bit of balconies are unfinished:

Good job with this one, Empire. Something I don't say very often.

From this morning:

The contrast between white and the orange/rust colour should have been more pronounced.

The contrast between white and the orange/rust colour should have been more pronounced.

agreed. I think an easy solve would have been to have the orange guards be the same height as the white ones, so the dark streak would read more as orange from a distance.

Still think that the slanted lines are still awkward in the way they transition between the tower and podium, but the rest is good enough.

Since I'm in skyscraper mode (no deep dive on execution), I'd give this a full pass. Probably should have built something like this at Daniels waterfront. Not rocket science-swoops (sails) near the water. Rest of the world does it... no harm in doing same.

I know what you mean, but due to the gradually shrinking floor plate putting the swoosh on a slant, it is simply geometrically impossible to have a smooth swoosh transition between the podium and the rest of the towers. The swoosh looks as you would expect when viewed from afar and straight on. But when viewed at an angle and close to the base, the jankyness is exaggerated. There's nothing that could have been done about that though.

By the way, I thought I'd share what I witnessed this morning. As I was going by the building, there were two workers on the balcony very loudly discussing how to fill in this particular gap:

Some choice words were used. This only reinforced my previous suspicions that they are having a lot of issues with installing balcony railings here. It seems like balcony architecture was very expensive for this particular project.
