Yeah, and that thinking still stands. This is an example of a miss by a firm that is consistently competent.

Rêve looked like it was going to be a bomb until the balcony glazing went on. Now done, the building looks smashing. Why do we so often pronounce new buildings already dead while they are still in utero?

Today I see red:

With Ice flirting with the CN Tower, Fly that needs to be swatted, and some other birds that shall remain nameless.

Actually, after ICE the Fly is shaping up to be the best looking building in that photo my friend.

Spandrel. Its here. Get used to it.

 

[Miscreant]

Looks like the guy on the far bottom left can't believe that it's really going to look this spandrel-y.

He's not alone.

 

[Red October]

Yikes.

This would have looked 10 times better if the spandrel was replaced with precast panels.
Maybe if the spandrel wasn't all the same colour it would have been a bit better.

Yes, there is way too much spandrel on this building and it's just too beige/grayish/blah.

the colour palette of 300 kinda reminds me of Couture, with the creamyish white/black spandrel (which out of all the spadrels i don't mind)
