Today. Not sure why we can see the concrete immediately behind the glass at the corners on one level.

I think the windows work well. They form a clean and elegant grid that contrasts nicely with the unusual forms of the fins. Also, the neutral grey of the tower will contrast pleasantly with the warm reds, oranges, and yellows of the restored heritage facades. However, colour could have been used for greater effect on the tower overall. The grey is too conventional and conservative.

I would love to see the use of warmer coloured cladding throughout the city. Especially welcome during our grey winter months. How about some exposed wooden veneers or posts as well. It could become a Canadian trademark.

The last thing the windows add is a "clean" element. They could have looked clean had they dispensed with the waist-height mullions, but with that added horizontal line breaking up every level you start to get the cage effect. They have no doubt spent so much on the finials, however, that more costly, higher quality windows were ruled out. Too bad.

I disagree. The thin horizontal lines contrast nicely with the bold fins. It's almost like the look of French windows, though that traditional aesthetic would be out of place in this design. It gives the building more of a residential character.

I call them "fins" because the word "finials" is more evocative of the architectural accents placed on top of vertical features like domes or Gothic towers.

It's junctionist's opinion against yours. Unfortunately, I have decided that your opinion is the incorrect one. There is no appeals process - you're just wrong. Sorry :D
