Very cool little building! I'm not a fan of Figurr's 'O' at Zibi, it's very Lahey looking, but this is something unique.

More greige? I don't love greige but I find it a welcome juxtaposition from the 50 shades of Gray and Baby Vomit Yellow that are appearing on every other building in this city lately.

There's a reason! This year's pantone colours of the year are grey and yellow, and everyone jumps on the bandwagon. Though the names are Ultimate Grey and Illuminating. I think Illuminating sounds nicer than Baby Vomit Yellow

New colour treatment on the second level. Makes it look even better.

Good choice. Breaks up the design a bit.

So surprising that they've included the hydro pole in their rendering! most developer would hide these things. I've seen adjacent towers disappears and replaced by fake park. lol

Why is there a random grey corner on the new rendering? Just keep the entire base black.
