Happy to help!

I've personally used imgur for a while when posting photos I've taken, and occasional images extracted from documents (with proper sourcing, of course). I've got no idea if there's a better site for image hosting than imgur, but it's a if-it's-not-broke-don't-fix-it situation for me.

I took screen shots of the linked-to photos and uploaded them to imgur:

Cool, thanks!

That spiral stair reminds me of the one in Vancouver House.

I assume the other stair is in an internal tenant space?

Correct - the other 2 flights are for the primary tenant in the building.

They're finally getting some panels on that upper box with the utility stuff in it. Looks like a screen or grid.

I think you can also see the circular openings in one of the top boxes in this other promo video of the steel work:

Wow, that mechanical enclosure is ugly (hopefully, it'll be covered with greenery, which would clog up any mesh for ventilation).

I guess they coloured it to match the other screen on the building,
but it really cuts that cube in half.

At least it's not too visible.

And now look at it on a dull overcast day. Depends on the viewing angle, too.

Like, er, uhhh, yeah yuk, but what are they digging and putting in your planters, anyway? Is it what I think it is? No ... surely not.
