Spandrel is glass. The clear stuff is called 'vision glass'. Here they are choosing to hide mechanical/electrical behind opaque tealish spandrel as a design feature instead of minimizing the contrast with a tone similar to the vision glass.

And interior walls that extend to the facade.

I'm expecting Claridge might Claridge this one based on the spandrel. Might be another great design poorly executed like Icon. At least it will be a unique poorly executed tower.

I know that balcony design is pissing off the construction workers.

I know that balcony design is pissing off the construction workers.

And it will be all for nothing if they put the Alibaba railings on, the shapes won't even show, as we learned on the Talisman.

Well if it comes out anything like Lebreton Flats East, we are eating good with this.

Might piss them off, but hope they can be proud of working on a nice project for once.

I never expected Claridge to build an all glass tower!

 

[originalmuffins]

Good job Claridge. Now finish this one up and bring that one on Carling back to 60 floors. Get something of this quality up so the Icon pales in comparison.

 

[urbanforest]

Looks great! Going to look even better than their Lebreton project. Just please don’t f*** up the balconies…

Taken from the train. This one is looking nice even from a distance

It's just a floor higher than the eventual height of the first Gladstone Village tower that is under construction across the trench. Not insubstantial!
