love the idea. The spandrel could have been more yellow/orange to match the mullions and pop more though.

I appreciate their attempt to do something different, but the colour/tone of the mullions and spandrel looks a bit weird or off.
A light bronze or gold/brass would look more natural, this looks more mustard-yellow (or maybe it's just the light). The yellow spandrel looks like panels of insulation that's waiting to be cladded over.
Once it's occupied and window coverings are installed the building will look much different and busier than what we see now. A metallic bronze or gold tint to both the glass and spandrel would clean up the appearance and not compete with the cool looking white precast.

Saw this gold paneling on a building going up in Reykjavik. Would've been nice to see the typical Toronto spandrel replaced with something like this instead.

Not digging that brownish maroon colour at ground level. Minor misstep? Maybe it will look better when finished.

They seriously messed up hard with the spandrel placements. What the hell?

I think it ends up showing that despite Toronto's architectural ambitions catching up with Europe, we still lack the actual will to turn said designs into reality.
