Just what Vancouver needs. More seafoam coloured panels! /s

I saw those driving over the bridge - didn't realize they were two-tone!
So can they be backlit? Maybe backlit with light coming around the edges.

They seem fairly opaque panels to be backlit.

[officedweller]

They seem to be raised a bit - so maybe lighting coming out from behind the edges?
It's that's the case, not sure how bright it would be.
This is one of the few buildings where it's high enough that a bright light feature would not upset any neighbours,
unfortuante that opportunity seems to be lost.

A bunch of the renders did have that section lit up. And I guess they could have just used metal panels or something so the glass option might lend itself towards some kind of lighting. It would look pretty nice from the south side if there's lighting coming up the spine of the building.

Thanks, that rendering seems to show uplighting - like on One Wall - which would look good, as interior lighting can be hit or miss (ie Capitol).

This GIF is not in reverse...This morning they were rearranging the panels.

Hey chrisel, they heard you. Having the seaform green behind the white panels makes it a more uniform white in color.
Also a more even reflection of a colored light on the enclosure.

Seems overly complicated for what it needs to be.

[officedweller]

That makes more sense, but agreed that the raised and lowered panels would create texture, so why the colour difference?

I am absolutely not the right person to make any definitive comment on details like this at the moment, as I have some sight issues going on, but to me all the panels now look to be the same. The 'seafoam' looks to be just the iron in the glass we often see. The effect of the forward and back fixing creates a shadow that gives the appearance of a colour variation in some images, but hot all of them. I wonder if the panels have a front, and a back that are slightly different (coated white on one face maybe?) which was why they needed to rearrange some of them?

[Zepfancouver]

Changing City you're right, the panels are all the same, one side is white and the backside (or the other side) is green.
This video was taken in the morning, you can see the panel swing around showing its backside. The lighting is different from the afternoon video I posted.
You would have to take a picture on a cloudy day to get a good look at the pattern. In the afternoon video, it looks like they have all the panels showing their white side.
Good thing I'm not installing them, I have the same issue as you, poor eyesight from aging

Ah, that makes even more sense, that they are all the same, but have a front and back.

Might be a fritted glass treatment:

Nice night for a walk.
The curved beams are no longer on site. Sent back to the fabricator for an adjustment?

Reminder of the final product.

Looks like they'll get the enclosure done by end of day tomorrow. Then maybe drop-in the H-Vacs Friday. I believe it's the housing for the H-Vac units.

one good thing is that it looks bright even during the day when not lit up.

[officedweller]

Pic by me today.

Captured one of the 2 Hvac units being hoisted up to the roof this morning.

Thanks.
The panels even fit well against the spine.

I wonder if that's a bedroom level with the fireplace vent?
There doesn't seem to be a lot of window frontage on that level for a penthouse living room.
