The views from the upper floors are spectacular

Sorry, only found one photo on my phone, thought I had more

Thanks!

... and to think that thick pillar is hollow aluminum panelling.

Material for all cladding at Vancouver house is steel with different finishes applied.

What I meant was that the large wide view-blocking column is not structural (i.e. no big concrete column inside)

This thing is winning awards for sure. Unreal.

Imagine the strata allowing owners to arbitrarily start removing them lol. Kinda like on buildings where some balconies are open and some have been enclosed

Thanks for the picture. Yeah the cladding blocking the view is annoying, but holy shit.. that view

Usually this happens because stratas are self managed by volunteers so owners enclose the balcony and the volunteers either don’t notice or don’t want to fight. Years later it’s a huge lawsuit.
