It's strange to see mullions aligned only with every 2nd precast arch, rather than with all of them (which would've provided a consistent detail and an exterior effect that matches the interior, and is probably cheaper given smaller panes of glass). The current wave effect has little to do with the interior

It's insane

Curious to see what it looks like from the inside.
If the curved mullions line up with the curves of the arches, then the mullions won't be all that visible from the inside
and having a second mullion to form the 'V's of the arches may not have made a difference to the view from the inside.

Anyways, the mullions on the end should have traced the outline of an arched stained glass window (with clear or fritted glass), within the square-ish end piece. That would have also tied in to the church.

Today
After 4 weeks the concrete placing boom was in action today for a slab and parapet pour.
I'm thinking the placing boom will have to be removed (or raised? I don't know why they haven't yet done so) for the formwork to be done on the elevator machine and mechanical rooms.
Tomorrow the table-forms will be decommission, if no room on the sites grounds they will do it on the roof (at The Stack the table-forms were dismantled on the roof).
Stay tuned.

This building really sticks out from various vantage points around Mt. Pleasant. Interesting looking building compared to the rest of the seafoam towers.

Zepfancouver · #**1306** Posted **Apr 26, 2023, 12:06 AM**

Nothing happening at the top today. Lots of panels going in.
Just noticed I'm going to have a good straight on view of the BMU installation, its going to sit right where the concrete placing boom is

Looking good.

Do we have any idea on the lighting plan for this?

Looks like nothing major.

The common hallway on each floor is open without glazing where the two "wings" join. The lighting here should be visible to some extent from certain directions.

Westbank has a tendency not to light their tall projects in Vancouver, so I wouldn't expect anything here.

Nice

Don't see many twilight postings.

Today... Maybe they do have room to buttoned the walls and use the pump one more time.

Tying in the last of the rebar

Today installing embedplates for welding attachment points for steelworkers to do their thing.
Looking like we will have a clean sleek top off (crown) on the tower
We don't want it as shown in madog222 post #1310 Twilight Photo
