Ok wow. I would've have spent less on those shade fins (90% of which aren't doing anything), and spent more on having proper 3rd floor windows

Also would've oriented the wood soffit in a radial fashion; right now they have the illusion of sagging between panels

If only Vancouver builds its housing like this.... the quality of life here would have risen exponentially.

What is that u/c? And why aren’t we seeing more mass timber buildings? It’s just the one? I thought it was supposed to be better
