That looks decent. If it is bronze coloured it could turn out okay.

I've noticed some shoddy brick work on commercial buildings before. I can't tell the brick pattern from the photo. Is it just uneven?
The final panels look much better than the test one they had up. If anything, it should look good at night with the backlighting.

I’ll try to get a photo some evening. The section on the east end of the south facade is the most noticeable.

Need to see more to get an idea ow it will turn out. At least the building can't get any uglier than it is already...

Saw it today on the flyover heading into DT and there was second screen panel up. By the time I left an hour and a half later they had 4 up. It looked like a subtle bronze. Seemed accurate to the renderings and definitely helped the overall appeal of the building.

When tenants walk onto their balconies, will they be surrounded by a bronze metal cage? Will be great for those that love the "imprisoned" vibe.

Don't think they have balconies.

Drove past again on Sunday. Snapped a quick pic at a red light. Definitely bronze coloured. Looks true to the rendering. It went all the way to the bottom on the left hand side, which you can’t see with the old Starbucks in the way.
The mesh might not be to everyone's liking, but it'll make it an interesting point of conversation. Some will like it, and even love it, and some will dislike or hate it. I'll wait until the mesh is fully up, but I will say this, the mesh does improve it from the outside.
