Agreed, nice break from the sea-foam spandrel but I agree with others here that they have a very American and dated look to them.
So many examples of this in the 90's and not sure why this regressive "New York" look is being embraced here, couldn't be further from a West Coast aesthetic and miles from most of the proposed designs immediately surrounding this project like The Alberni, the Bing Thom proposal at Bidwell and Alberni, and the Cardero. A "New York" look is totally out of synch with Coal Harbour which I thought was meant to embrace and mirror the look and feel of the surrounding water, mountains and forests.
