Feels like the mouth could have been resolved a bit better. It's nice to break up the form but is a little lacklustre. Almost wonder if an inset floor all the way around would have resulted in a better outcome...overall great looking office tower though!

Agreed.
Given the boldness/thickness of the sweeping panels, the rim of the mouth seems a bit understated.
It could be that the inset balcony area will be brightly lit at night.

Should have used black glass or something contrasty on the inside of the hangars. Or have a deeper cut, making for a more outdoorsy space at those levels.

Love the curve of the roof steel exactly mirroring the curve element from grade. Great (informative) shot.

I’ll be sad to see the Richmond street Scotia Cineplex go in a year or three, I have a ton of great memories of that theatre, but from this angle, you can really see that corner crying out to be redeveloped. It looks so squat and sad.
