Apparently spandrel is served on the house:

You know what? It's really just a slab on steroids.

Very much a Jekyll & Hyde building. The darker west face along with the mid-rise section are more tolerable. Whereas the east face with pastel-blue/grey (depending on lighting and perspective) is crushingly dreary.
 
Is it my over active imagination, or do the exterior colours seem to change depending on the angle or weather conditions? Never saw a chameleon tower before, either that, or all the chemo (which was a great success!) has finally got to me! :rolleyes:
 
Proof yet again that something can look gorgeous in a rendering and turn out hideous in real life.
 
While I hate the cladding in general, I'm not sure why Tridel didn't match the balcony glass colour to that of the windows. It looks terrible.
