The podium levels at Rushden Station, a residential complex under construction in Toronto's East End, present a lot of blank concrete wall to the city, as they mostly hide parking levels. The blank wall, therefore, represented an opportunity to apply a finish that would relieve its relentlessness. The answer here is projecting fins in seven tones: one for each tower colour (green, red, and blue), one lighter version of each (light green, pink, light blue), along with white to add something bright. From the side in particular, it's quite a sight!
