I'm surprised to hear that come from you, who normally seems to prefer more minimalist boxes and high quality glass envelopes. This one is interesting but IMO the boxes the windows are set inside of for Telus Sky and Vancouver House look more elegant than the random punched windows on this one. I don't dislike it, it just reminds me of the other 2 BIG proposals but in a messier way. Maybe that's this architect's thing though?
In the end at least it's something different to break up the sterility of some of the condos in Vancouver. My favourite proposal at the moment there is still the black one with the red cuts in it. Can't remember the firm who did it or the name but it was really funky and different.
