I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the "sky" reflecting on the glass. I'm more interested to see how the core and main level is going to turn out.

Like whatever said, we may need to see more cladding to make a final judgement on how this will turn out. The photos from yesterday were taken of the back of Couture (West). The front should be more interesting with the black cladding in the middle of Couture.
Here is a better look at what we are looking at...
This actually may look pretty nice when it's all said and done.
Updated photos from 1:20pm... looks like they will installing black cladding in the middle judging from this photo.

Thanks for the shot. Is that the second or third floor they're working on right now?

That already looks better. I agree the panelling looks ugly if you focus in on it, but the overall effect of how the panelling frames in the elevation has a nice balance to it. And I could agree that the lines of the panelling looks a little heavy right now, but when it's 30 storeys up and you're looking at it from Yonge St it'll look a lot lighter.

The original renderings were much more promising.
Look on the bright side, if this turns out bad (no judgement yet though) it will make X look even better than it does already!

They are installing the panelling on the second floor (the amenities floor) at the moment.
I too liked the original rendering for Couture. There does seem to be some variation in the cladding judging by the renders, so it will be interesting to see how it all shapes up once the cladding continues to climb.

I'd like to bring back this picture originally posted by ProjectEnd
I don't think it's too far off from the model. I notice the colour of the window frames are dark whereas the model shows it as the same colour as the cladding.
Also notice the same glass colour throughout.

I actually like the tone of grey being used... almost a white-grey. I think it will look pretty striking.

Is there any glass in that cladding? Or is it just really clear? I don't even see any reflections. Which leads me to believe there is no glass in it yet.

The are putting up cladding on the first floor of residences along Jarvis. There is glass in those pieces of cladding, and it appears to have a dark tint to it.

From what vantage point are you looking? I can't seem to see any glass yet. I asked a site worker and he mentioned there isn't glass in the framing. Are you sure you are not seeing portions of the cladding, IE;
You can see portions of gray in the cladding just to the right of the JIG LIFT.

Looking at the opposite side of the building in the pics you posted. The side of the building facing Jarvis - the first floor of residences (3rd floor of the building). I'm positive that I can see tinted glass in the windows.
