On the south side you're seeing light bounce off the exterior, on the west side, you're seeing it flow through the curves of course, accentuating them beautifully.

Against the dark blue of the sky, it looks absolutely brilliant. With the balcony glass up, I can see it looking almost weightless to spite its size, like it's being hung from the clouds. Yeah, it's a ridiculous statement to make, but it's what it's making me see in my head.
 
I get that. It definitely looks like sky/clouds. and will be stunning on those super blue days with just a few rolling white clouds in the sky. It is definitely very airy, and elegant.
 
Great set for sure. Those curves come off even darker on a bright day! curves on the south end seem much lighter, though

Incredible photos G.L. That first one is outstanding with the well-positioned cloud reflection!

The west-facing balconies may be accentuated because of the sharp acute mid-day sun angle (the sun should be slightly west of south) with the curved parts cast in shadow, whereas the south balconies are in full sun along their entirety. That also could explain their washed out look in those shots.

Amazing. It wasn't long ago that the Park Road Condo seemed like a huge development, now it barely draws an eye amongst all the taller towers in the Y&B cluster.
