First pieces are being installed now on the North side!
We posted a photo on our Instagram today.

Yay! I'm excited. A lot of people seem to dislike how colourful many of Calgary's buildings are; the Auras, Pixel, Mark on Tenth, The Colours, et al. And while I personally do not like the Auras, I love the rest. I think INK is going to be the best of them all, with a distinct pastel colour on each side. Very excited to see the cladding on this one take off.

I actually find the colourfulness of many of Calgary's residential projects to be quite fun and playful. Considering the surrounding terrain is brown/dead for nearly half the year, it's nice to spice things up. It's actually similar in effect to the colourful houses in Newfoundland.

I might be down in that area tomorrow, if I am I'll stop by and take a couple pictures. This'll be my first time seeing purple spandrel

I was by there earlier today and glass was up.

First few pieces going up are orange. Judging by the pic of them loading the windows it might be Orange and Blue.

Each face of the tower is a different colour. There is (I believe) orange, red, purple, and blue.

It's a nice orange colour. I'm not quite there yet on the application. The glass is clear. The mullion caps are grey. It's only the spandrel.

I agree.

Colour accents are so often thrown together that they end up clashing with the rest of the design or each other. The bolder the colour accent the more delicate the approach needs to be. Sometimes the best is to go full out over some last minute accent panels. (University City) My impression is the opposite. People want more and more colour to the point that they will even settle for ugly tints and bad ideas.

Yep. So far the orange looks good.

I wish this thing would be 121 floors high

Thanks for an update

Which direction does the orange face? Only one I'm not really digging so far, but still think it'll look good.

The orange faces north.
