I like the look of this one. I think the copper accents are a nice contrast with the dark glass. The mullions suck but otherwise I think it’s a nice addition to the skyline.

The street presence of the parkade side is awful

The accents make a big difference to the building. I went from not sure if I liked it to liking it once the accents were added.

The window wall has everything going wrong with too much spandrel and too many mullions. The copper accents are the only redeeming value here. Those accents lose a point for being randomly used than on every balcony or, at minimum, a recognisable pattern. Every bad cheapening trend went into this design. This won't age well within this community.

Like most of Calgary right now, definitely could use a good power-washing.

One good thunderstorm in May and it'll be squeaky clean (barring the hail).

I really like how this turned out with the copper accents, including their randomness. I don’t think it would look as good if they weren’t random (as long as they are “balanced”).

I’m really liking those copper accents against the black.

The more I see it, the more I like it. One simple color choice makes a difference. If those accents weren't copper, but instead a basic like blue or yellow, it wouldn't look near as good. The copper on black gives it an instant elegance.
