Wow, I know most buildings go up fast once they hit ground level, but I feel Axiom is really hitting a groove.

Especially given how thick it is.

Axiom's east tower coming into view (in centre of photo).





I believe that's the 11th floor that's about to be poured.

Thanks for the great photos!

First sections of cladding are up. Interesting that they are mixing precast brick with plain precast.

My eyeballs. I suppose that's one axiom so far- Precast bricks is ugly.

It seems as though they are mixing textures to create interest.

About as much textural interest as eating dried cardboard.

Maybe when they are done, and as a whole it'll look good, but right now that mismatch looks terrible IMHO.

Precast brick ? In this particular case it's a shabby simulacrum.

Yikes, that looks awful. Reminds me of the horrible precast used at King+Condos.

Anyone who thinks that precast stamped with a brick pattern has even half the texture or visual interest of actual face brick masonry is kidding themselves. Really disappointed to see that crap being used here.

Setbacks.

Broken precast brick.
