My biggest worry about the whole project is how they'll deal with ugly flaking tin roofs on the mechanical penthouses. They'll be a really bad juxtaposition if they aren't reclad.

Renewal of Les Terrasses de la Chaudière complex [Hull] | Public Services and Procurement Canada | BBB+Adamson | U/C
- Thread starter hoggytime
- Start date
I'm really shocked by the speed of this process. I thought the delay between removing the precast and installing the curtain wall would be much longer.
Really depends on the light. Screams teal in this light.
It's a bizarre glass. Very teal in the sunlight, but light gray on a cloudy day.

I bet by the end of the summer, the 2 first building ll have their new windows on.
I'll miss the brick of Terraces as well. It was nice to have different materials between the brown/red brick, along with the concrete and glass of Portage. Now it's all going to be glass. They should have tried to mix it up more with the different massings of Terraces. Hoping they take that into consideration when they start planning the future Portage rehabs.

I hope we see the first glass on that section soon!!!
Surprised this wasn't a steel structured tower, but I guess the stylized corners required a concrete structure.

I've been wondering what the bright red building was at Zibi...
Gotta say, I'm disappointed it won't stay red. It really pops when you come over the Kanata Hill and it has brightened my view from my east windows. Obviously it could never have stayed red. This is the NCR where the bureaucratic bias to banality begets boring buildings.

We'll certainly lose some variety in the Hull skyline with the Federal reclads. Hoping Zibi can move away from the shades of grey and depressing light beige design language.

One of the concrete facade of the shortest building is installed. Nothing impressive. Didn't have time to take a pic

Looking clean and decent. I like the stone or tile on the sides.
