I was wondering if it might even be fiber cement, but usually those panels a thicker.

Hardie panels are typically 5/16" thick, so about the same as ACM.

Color looks a bit weird, but a nice project overall.

 

[Mountain Man]

Yeah not really a fan of that angle, too many colours that don't really go together lol.

I just assume the architect is an Eiffel 65 fan...

Yo, listen up, here's the story
About a little guy that lives in a blue world
And all day and all night and everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his house with a blue little window
And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him

Ive watched this go up from my office window...and had my hopes up that it would be tastefully done. But nope, another project bungled up with too many colors.

^lol, we must have just missed each other. According to the timestamp, I was there at 2:48pm.

 

[1875]

its on my way home from cold garden.

Turned out pretty good.

 

[CalgaryTiger]

There's still too many materials and too much going on. Should've picked one of the blue and brown and dropped the other colour.

 

[DiscoStu]

Yeah, it turned out decent...but just overcooked with the colors. Developers here just can't seem to get out of their own way sometimes.

I think a lot of the multiple colours / materials on buildings these days is the city pushing developers and architects to break up large sections of wall and massing.
