I think I liked it a bit more with lighter colours than dark. I still love the hell out of it though because it's all about the height and the taper, not the colour.

I wonder if there were any concerns of it becoming a touch deathray-ish if it was too reflective? Not that I think it would do anything hilariously bad as melt cars, but maybe it would be hard to look at certain times of day/year.

This building is going have a lot of black. Going by the model shown, the top has *alot* more blaView attachment 98988ck than the bottom, and to me the bottom has a fair amount of black in real life.

I hope it doesn't end up looking like that.

Hi Group,

On This Telus Project One of the Bldgs to the West is Owned by Telus, Its my Belief Its a Phone Switching Terminal of Sorts, the Other is Owned by the Alberta Gvmnt. Does Anyone Know Just What is Done in the Bldg?

Tnx,
Operater.

To be honest I would be happy if they just left the other two buildings as they are. I like the fact that the block has a wall of three distinct styled buildings.

I could definitely go for a recladding of the Len Wery building. I don't even care what they do with it. Just do something. I actually still hate that we lost our nicest historic office building for that dumpster fire.

The twist is on!



This pic probably shows it the best

The overall impression of the facade is starting to come together too. I still would've preferred the white, but it's starting to look quite nice.

Now if we could only do something about the dogs build next to it.

That last pic is the best pic I've seen of the facade since it started going up. I'm imagining the whole building like that and I like it.

The white would have mind blowing.

The white would have been kick ass, but this black is starting to look much better.

 

[UrbanWarrior]

It's looking f*cking awesome! So excited to see this one complete!

 

[maestro]

I agree. It's starting to come more together. I'm still not huge on the grey colour or, maybe, the combination of the white frames around the glass. There's more grey paneling to come on the upper levels.
