I wish we weren't looking at the waist-height mullions, and that the glass was full floor, but I suppose that's the trade-off: those aluminum finials are expensive, so to offset that, a less expensive arrangement for the windows has been specced. (Still, the finials more than make up for having to put up with the otherwise needless crossbar.)

With many condos the light colour of the window mullions, spandrel panels and glass often distracts from the overall architectural design or concept. Once these buildings become occupied the window coverings add another level of visual clutter and distraction as the windows will create a random patchy light and dark patterns to the facade, and the finials will partially blend in which is what you don’t want.

Simply tinting the glass and having darker mullions will tone down the secondary elements of the building rather than competing with these finials which are right now the same colour.
 
Still feel like they should have used a much bolder color. They could have even gone with black if they wanted to keep it conservative. But a crimson or red would be lovely.

Geometric patterns that appear from different angles are quite nice. Would have really shined if they had gone with a more reflective curtain wall but what can ya do!
