Thanks!

WRT the atrium shot, I hope the bridge across doesn't block too much of the front window.

WRT the mullions, I wonder why they didn't install the tapered mullions on the other sections?

Wow that tapered fin detail looks fantastic!

Only a couple more floors to go it seems.

Agreed, this looks great.

Yes, I found these fin details particularly interesting. The double corner fin tapers in to meet the tapered fin from the overhang. The fins that just continue up the angled facade do not taper. Logical and tidy.

The architects probably had a long discussion on whether to taper all the fins that are under the overhang (which they haven't tapered).

LeftCoaster · #**911** Posted **Dec 1, 2016, 9:34 PM**

I think that's one of my favourite design tricks on this project. Because of the shadowing it looks like they just disappear up into the new floor.

Great update. Thanks.

How far from topping out? Not much further to go, it would seem.

They are just starting on the lvl 30 slab, it should be topped out by the new year I reckon

I love the glass frit and the fins on this building. Definitely worthy of its location and context with the heritage building.

I like how the fins emphasize the verticality

Yes, they help mitigate that "not-quite-tall-enough" syndrome that is sometimes said of the building.
