Why the toothpaste coloured balcony glass? Whyyyyy

 

[Benito]

The balcony glass doesn’t look great with the spandrel at least in today’s light on a cloudy day.

The 2nd tower was looking great...so of course they realized that and went ahead by ruining it with the toothpaste balcony cladding.

Can we ever have something fully executed properly in this city?

That's exactly what I noticed too. At first everything looked decent and then I saw the balcony glass.

Holy shit, that is shocking...

This is to res balconies what the curtain wall at The Well is to office towers...

 

[DavidCapizzano]

Very weird choice. The plans say the translucent glass will only be used on the front of the balconies and not the sides, so maybe that will help as they climb further up... I am surprised they didn’t use glass similar to Pier 27 here.

Basically everyone's talking about how bad the toothpaste green balconies are going to look on this building when its finished . And I don't even like it too white or cream would have been my choice. But we have somewhat of an idea by looking at Great Gulf's Yonge and Richmond condo. Having those two combinations on one side of the building which doesn't look that bad !

Hopefully the balcony glass on the shorter tower wont be the same, as it would look even more jarring next to the brick.

Things were going so well...

 

[Automation Gallery]

Such drama over balcony glass ?

 

[Edward Skira]

Considering that's what we are going to have to look at why wouldn't there be questions about it?

2nd project in a row where lanterra messed up the glass. The glass looks terrible.

The Wellesley on the Park glass looks great. There's a story behind that one that's not public as well...
