Toronto Massey Tower Condos | 206.95m | 60s | MOD Developments | Hariri Pontarini

However much I love this development, I still can't help feeling it would have been much better using a stone material (white terra cotta for example) for the balcony treatment than the white fritted glass.

I wonder if over time whether terra cotta would begin to stain and discolor?

Ugh? authentic terra cotta through time would disintegrate in our harsh weather

No it wouldn't

So through time it wouldn't?, Ok so then where else has it been used..

I will be looking forward to that - if only that material can be used more in places like Southcore.

He is talking terra cotta as a balcony treatment not structural, no?

This is what I was referring to when I meant I thought the Massey tower balconies would be a white precast material.
