They're like a Yin-Yang together. Telus Sky has black, Van House has white, they (somewhat) fit together .. pretty cool.
I must say though, I prefer Telus Sky over Van House, not only because it's way taller but I think it's a beauty from all angles, whereas Vancouver House is a beauty, but only if you look at it from the right direction.

I'm a little bit the opposite, I prefer Vancouver house. I think the white color scheme feels a bit more special, and allows for some interesting shadow play. I also think the general shape is a bit more dramatic when the thin section is at the bottom.

Either way though, both are great. Telus Sky is a photographer's dream...every time you look at it, it offers a unique shape to shoot.

I prefer the shape of Telus Sky, but the materials of Telus House. Agree, though,both are great, and yeah, I thin it'll be photographed over and over, as it will always look different. Telus Sky even looks a lot different under different lighting, when comparing other buildings like EAP/BP/Bow. It's too bad it wasn't at the west end of downtown where it was out in the open more.

I'll wait till they're done before I make my final judgement on which I like better. I get the feeling that Vancouver House will look cooler when you're close in to it, but that Sky will be much more noticeable from afar. Great projects both.

I hope you guys don't mind a few more pics of Telus Sky, I know we already have some good updates, but here's a few more.

No I don't mind one bit. The constant updates are one of the things I love about this site.

Oh no. Those doors are really ruining the aesthetic of the building. :\

Oh no. Those doors are really ruining the aesthetic of the building. :\

Sadly that seems to be the case. The building will still be fantastic, but yah not digging the white trim on those doors.
