Not entirely sure how I feel about this... thought it was going to involve more. I can only imagine how well it will stand up to ice, snow and winds

I would imagine it's just the first batch of tiles, and that another set of tiles in a different colour will finish the look

If you look at the renderings at http://www.wzmh.com/projects/43a-parliament-street/?cat=high-technology: this looks like the finished product and, in my opinion, pretty sharp!

Or, you can use the dataBase linked at the the top of the page!

Is it sad that a data centre building has more engaging and interesting cladding than significant portion of new condos built nowadays?

 

[Razz]

I agree with DSC, I think the terra cotta tiles look pretty striking, but we will have to wait to see the finished product to truly judge. My sense is it will turn out well and be true to the renderings.

Looks great!

I'm just questioning how sturdy the set-up is. I've watched it go up, and it appears to be basic (black) sheet metal on the back, with some thin looking cross pieces, that the slats are being affixed to, with a fair amount of space behind it. I'm not sure if something else is slid in behind at some point.

I think it will turn out better than the rendering - the terracotta got far more texture and depth than suggested.

I am interested to see how the terracotta catches the snow (but I don't need the answer right away).

I like how the brick coloured elements create a bar-code like pattern.
