Ah excellent, the Edmonton-spec brick has been applied just in time.

 

[crisp]

I don't hate the brick, but the removal of balcony curves is a piss off.

 

[cpnfantstk]

Don't care for the renders much. Plus look at the car they put there. Is that a Citroen??

 

[Kaizen]

I had always liked the smaller tower but now like it more, somehow. I love that the towers are not twins and compliment each other. I don't mind the brick, nor the old cars. I do wish that they had kept that subtle curve on the taller towers balconies but really like that 'striated' look that is going on with them now. Podium somehow could be more interactive or inviting, not sure, but I like it. This really is a beautiful project.

Ah, crap.

@archited There's always at least some. I still have faith in this one, though.

Metal cladding on the west tower (shorter) has been changed to terracotta. Reasoning is that it will enhance the building's exterior expression and provide better performance and durability over time.

 

[Daveography]

@Nosirrah Interesting! I like terracotta as a cladding, should look nice.

 

[archited]

^ Hopefully it is the actual tile and not simply a color change (could be either -- need more info).

@Nosirrah Interesting! I like terracotta as a cladding, should look nice.

How common is terracotta cladding in Edmonton? Seems like an interesting but perhaps unconventional material for cladding (in my uneducated opinion)
