Yup, Vancouver should get away from the mentality that new buildings must "fit in with the neighbourhood character". These two buildings are prime examples how a neighbourhood is enhanced by structures that stand out.

Items that depart from the norm:

1. Building facades with far fewer balconies that stick out, or none at all.
2. Non-seafoam spandrels used.
3. Mall-type podiums with no townhomes.
4. Tinted glass windows.
5. Concrete pavers for walkways and sidewalks.
6. Tropical resort-style open air swimming pool.
7. Anchor commercial building: in this case a casino, 2 hotels and 8 restaurants.
