You can see some of the proetctive wrap coming off the ledges.
I was expecting a darker wood colour.
It looks more like IKEA birch, instead of IKEA beech.

officedweller, thanks for these 2 pictures.
I am not a instagrammer or Facebooker, I seem to shy away from 'must be a member (logged in) to access' social media sites.

Happy to say that Instagram is letting me view the link posting (I'm not a member), maybe because it's a direct link or a server glitch, thanks! madog222....Edit few minutes later, now it's not letting me view it anymore!?
I took a screenshot from the video showing the suite of my choice (if I were able to afford it). I like the unique feature of that balcony.

If it doesn't work try logging in incognito.

Yeah, direct links should work if you’re not logged in.

No luck, incognito and the direct link is not letting me view it. Must have been a fluke the first time I clicked the link. I still will not sign up to Facebook or Instagram. I should organize a Freedom Convoy to protest 'Sign in to View' policy

I love the concept, but the execution seems lacking. First rule of a 'wet, grey, depressingly rainy city' is not to use grey, off grey and cold materials.

That said, I will wait until it is complete to properly judge.

Would have looked spectacular with a bit of a bronze tint.

the materials are no doubt very high quality but there is a certain messy-ness to how the white paneling was applied. The end result looks a bit incoherent imho.

Still a great project and i'm sure it will look better once all the pieces come together.
