I'm still out on the multi-coloured glass. I know it's the brand identity of EPL, but it looks tacky.

I guess we'll see what it's like once complete.

^^ That small section of shinier cladding on the North East over the windows, would that be the final zinc clad? I hope it's not, and that they will apply cladding similar to the AG. I don't mind the multi-coloured glass, but agree it's a "wait & see".

@Kaizen no the shiny stuff is the steel backing.

Zinc is darker and more matte. I don't see any zinc at all and I'm not even sure it's coming at this point, but we'll see I guess.

So sitting in the office coffee room this morning and had a good look at this. How utterly disappointing. the original renderings were so much better. Then value engineering took hold.

Disappointment aside, grab and post some photos from your new vantage point

Still no hint of the final finish...

 

[Hqcan]

Any final word on whether the current barnyard siding is the final finish?

The newer renders do show some texture on the panels. https://www.epl.ca/about-the-stanley-a-milner-library-revitalization/
The left here looks final, the right, not final.

 

[quit]

In that case, it looks like painted wood panels from afar. Not a good look.

 

[Hqcan]

Oh man...

@darwink , I think your right, unfortunately.
