They need to do something to the mechanical box on top of the building. I'd say clad it in the same black material that's on the box that runs the length of the base.
I don't understand the guard rail either. Why didn't they just continue the bench the entire length of the deck like they did on the Spadina one? The rail was a bad choice in my opinion.
