is there some kind of motif in the curtain wall or is it reflection?

Love love the curve on the smaller tower!

Balcony edge trim being installed on the north tower. More podium glazing on the south podium.

 

[Benito]

Today, more podium glazing being installed.

loving the brick but im unsure about how i feel about the parking garage treatment. Was hoping for something a bit more striking / colourful similar to the renderings.

 

[bjrkz]

I agree, the ground level brick and terracotta-like treatment to the balcony slaps is well done. The cladding choice for the parking garage is disappointing.

 

[officedweller]

The renderings suggest there may be some backlighting for the parkade panels - unless that's just ambient parkade lighting.

 

[Benito]

Today more glazing.

Is it just me or does that look very good?

Maybe it will look worse once it covers the whole building rather than a single piece. Hoping for the best though!

 

[ushahid]

so far i like it. i mean anything that is not spanderel is good enough.

Why was bjrkz banned just for pointing out that someone has low standards based on their comment that literally says "anything that isn't spandrel is good enough"?
If saying someone's standards are low or overly shaped on navel-gazing Toronto's selection of condo architecture is considered a personal attack, then I suppose this forum no longer entertains critical discussions of architecture.
