Surreal, interesting reflections on Sydney Opera House. It's white of course. Hopefully these tiles will be dynamic like that in various lighting.

I dig the tiles especially the minor variation in colours; looks that they might come out exactly as rendered. Funny that most of the renders were in dark/overcast conditions.

They'll look great on the interior as well.

The tiles look fabulous! Even at night, each tile is different so it creates this cool looking mosaic.

When I saw them I couldn't hardly tell where there was tile and where tile hadn't even been installed. just looked like a massive brutalist building. Maybe when they shine lights off the tile it will improve the look.

The areas surrounded in red are tiled, and the areas surrounded in yellow have no tiles

Exactly - the non-tiled areas that are not tarped look just like the tile.

BTW - this revised render with the yellow and red LED looks much better. LOL!

The non tiled areas look absolutely nothing like the tiled areas. Unless matte brown insulation looks like shiny grey/gold tile.

You might want to see an eye doctor....just sayin.

Here's a quick eye test for you. If you can successfully identify the tiled area and the non tiled areas, you might not need glasses.

Seriously dude, you can't tell the difference between the tiled and non-tiled areas?

It might be eye sight, or maybe something else, try this out.

In this pic, the tile looks much more gray. Maybe this is what Suburbia meant by the 'massive brutalist building' This is one thing I love about the tile.....every time I see it, it looks different depending on the sky, and angles of sun etc...

Anyway, this shot provides good relative context between the library, the NMC and the Hilton on the far left, as well as other establishments in between and around.
