This is exactly what I expect from Truman. Quality materials (SSG vs window wall) but strange choices like the white framed operational windows. The only thing that looks "lazy" are the vent covers. There's a lot of spandrel. It's a choice between spandrel glass, ACM, or Fibre Cement nowadays.

One thing I’ve never appreciated before in regards to this building is the backside from this angle. I knew that they had sloped it back on the upper levels to avoid looming over the neighbours and I can see being there next to the building physically that it doesn’t give a looming presence at all. It worked out very well.
This can be a good example for developers and neighbours when it comes to shadowing issues.

I'm not a huge fan of the spandrel color. Going with a medium gray spandrel would have made it look more like the vision glass and would have made the building look better overall IMO.
