I like the gold, makes it stand out more.

I hae a strong feeling like it'll still be white or even grey...being a render.

New renderings and an interactive 3D model of Sky Tower can be viewed on the official website.

I wish they had given it a tasteful illuminated crown.

I love the gold accents, it looks like maybe a new trend is starting? First the One's gold exoskeleton, then the HUB, and now this? could be a unique twist on what has been a mostly blue glass skyline, and personally I am for it.

Ya that crown sure could use a nice accent lighting for sure. The over all look of these three together is grown on me now. Any word on the progress of phase two?

I'd wager the gold is not actually part of the building.
I can't remember which building this happened with previously, but the renders were similar, and then it turned out that the renders just "assumed" a golden/orange sunset reflecting off the glass.
From what I can see, it looks like it'll be blue glass.
That said, I'd certainly welcome gold.

The trim appears unambiguously gold in this render. It’s gold, even in the parts without direct sunlight.

First time seeing this rendering:

I have to say now I've seen the window wall in person, it really isn't that bad. Is it ideal? No, but it's not the disaster I was expecting.

I am awaiting for the details to least distract us from it. Though if they're planning to use that window wall liberally through out this project, they gonna have to have a lot of details to distract us from it. /sigh

Agreed. It's not great, but it might end up being a passing grade. We'll know once a few more levels rise and we see how they treat the tower.

Looks like the gold is there to distract from the prominent spandrel panels.

love the gold details. Making it stand out!

Tangent: UT's story on Sam and The One's exoskeleton's angled cladding mock-ups, points to the changing day-time palette... that may include a goldish hue. Perhaps night-lighting will also give us an Au glitter. This shot of the bronze mechanical grilles (I assume this would match the exoskeleton) is the only one I've seen in fairly neutral light.

^Correction: the darker bronze grilles won't match the exoskeleton cladding (which seems beige/yellow) as render review clearly shows.

Yes, least we're not going to see grey spamdrel for The One...once it gets off the ground and hopefully in our lifetimes. Can't say the same for this for this project though. /sigh
