I do, but I meant put something behind the dishes (which aren't there yet either). Really just make it look better in any way.

Back to Vista though since this thread isn't about 1WTC...

My post was meant to be read rhetorically. . . apologies to those who are not yet familiar with my posting style. . .

I believe it has to do with the intensity of the light. Was trying to find the FAA reg, but IDK if maybe I missed it, but I didn't see any # requirement.

Does anybody have the reg cited?

Possibly amount and location/orientation was determined via FAA submission.

Any chance they'll paint or seal the balcony ceilings black or dark gray? I think that would be much nicer than raw concrete.

Good point. I find it hard to believe people paying that type of money would want to look at concrete while chilling outside.

These balconies are a huge mistake, imo. Exposed concrete in a million(s) dollar condo = complete miss. It doesn't even matter what color (if any) they paint the ceilings of the balconies. It would still be painted concrete and represent a B-grade dwelling. I sense this project will ultimately prove a failure. Terrible missteps on this building. A billion dollar poser on the lakefront. Again, imo.

And to be fair to Jeanne Gang, I am absolutely certain she was ordered by the developers to include the balconies. This is 100% on them.

I don’t think they’re fully exposed concrete. One picture shows a white paint on the underside. Can’t tell whether there’s a walking surface finish by these pictures.

In all fairness they’re so far behind with construction I wouldn’t be shocked if they still framed in ceilings at least on the upper condo floors. The waterproof paint at the very least. If they don’t do an outdoor tile on the walking surface that’s an embarrassment.

It appears to be panels - I'd need to bring out the 600mm to verify.

See post 6870 of this thread. The core is metal panels.

Ugh. Unless they have some clever idea for lighting, I hope it looks good from a distance.

This is how Magellan does a supertall... there aren't many supertalls that feature what appears to be a stack of cargo containers 3/4 of the way up...

I suppose the light blue was chosen to make it appear to blend in with the blue sky beyond?
