The stonework looks like cinderblock. Not a good look.

The stonework looks like cinderblock. Not a good look.

It really does and it's very odd. Is this the intended look? Unfinished?
I'm wondering if it will to be plastered over, painted or polished, or finished differently somehow. It's also such a dull colour.

It's a Tact thing

Well look at that. Concrete can be depressing and dull but that cinder block looks terrific... especially juxtaposed with that glass with black mullions. Some quality greenery and eventually buried electrical on the street and it will end quite handsome. What a pleasant surprise.

Just to be clear, the podium of this thing is not clad in CMUs.

^ maybe not but they definitely read as cinderblocks to me.

To be fair, it looks more like prefab cinderblocks...

Count me as among those who is not a fan of the cinderblock look here. It really does look unfinished.

To offset that, a bonus pic shot at the same time, as I crossed the road from this site of Toronto's favourite phallic object:
