They should've just carried the wood accents up the corners of the podium.
What is the obsession in this city to throw as many random materials on a building and calling it a day?

Tell that to the clear anodized railings on this building, who, if I were one of these railings, I'd be embarrassed for standing out so strongly, but I'm a natural introvert by nature
For reference, below, it's not impossible for developments in Ottawa to get it right. Note that careful selection of aluminum finishes is not impossible, and *gasp* the colour can vary on the same building! *shouts from the crowd* 'say it ain't so!' 'won't somebody please think of the children!'
COVERED balcony slab edges, mixed with uncovered with a membrane? for shame! *sarcasm*

Note: This is the correct way to vary colours and design language to break up a building, fool the eye into thinking you've got multiple small buildings. Claridge, take note. It's not just barfing materials onto an elevation and thinking a collage will do just fine.
But I'm not bitter... lol
