Fresh snow and fresh spandrel in the same day!

Hot off yesterday’s spandrel excitement at Frontier, more spandrel thrills.

Where’s the spandrel on this building? Asking for a friend

 

[JTron]

It looks like Spandrel glass to me.

 

[DiscoStu]

Here's hoping for a miracle resurgence of office demand, before this program ruins even more of our mediocre buildings. I mean expectations for architectural masterpieces were already low, but dayyymn.

 

[Golfing guy]

I don’t think the city really cares if the finish product is eye candy or not. Their dollars are going to get empty buildings full again. Provide more housing downtown (plus low cost housing) and increasing the tax base.

 

[DiscoStu]

Oh, I'm not asking for eye candy... just something that doesn't cause eye vomit. Some of this stuff takes real effort to make look this bad.

I realise this has been posted before but seeing is believing.

its like garlic on your ice cream

 

[The Familia]

Eshhh. I hope they at least replace all the other windows with a more translucent glass that is not tinted. Otherwise...Yikes. Should have just used black spandrel.

 

[FCC1982]

This is absolutely Awful - unbelievable.

 

[Urb]

This is holy shit bad

 

[Mountain Man]

Who let Spandrel Cidex do a conversion?! I feel like we are reducing the office supply by creating super cheap, super ugly buildings that won't really add anything to the experience of anyone not living there. Yikes!

 

[O-tac]

Holy FOCK that is bad! If they painted the concrete white it would at least look less awful. Or even just staggered the spandrel. Why pick such an eye catching and clashing blue?

 

[Mountain Man]

Holy FOCK that is bad! If they painted the concrete white it would at least look less awful.

I had the same thought about the concrete.

 

[FCC1982]

Cidex must be using left over stock and this is the color they had.

 

[Albertasaurus]

Unfortunately several of these conversions are turning out architecturally dreadful. They can't even get basics like shape, color and materials right.
