The only view I don't like, as with many people, is the three quarter view of thr curved side with all that exposed concrete. I don't mind concrete but I think they should have added one more panel of glass, even if it was just spandrel (as long as it looked the same) to the curved sections to make the concrete part of the curves not so overbearing. Also it wouldn't look so bunker like if it were 10 stories taller, which IMO would give the whole building a sleeker appearance.

Overall I'd give it a 7/10, 8.5/10 considering it's in Vancouver.
Good points.
