Taken today:
On a side note, Casa II's white-fritted balcony glazing looks really sharp and provides some amazing contrast with Chaz next-door.

When I look at Chaz I feel like something's missing. I wish the top of the building didn't finish so abruptly.

Just curious if they have any plans to finish the concrete tumour on the side of the building that is the amenity area? Or will it just remain bare concrete that looks like a child stuck a Lego block on the side of the building? I just moved, but I've had to stare at this building from my living room for way too long and have found that part of it so intensely ugly.

There should be a finish to better integrate it with the tower's glass and spandrel facade.

Disagree. The unfinished box is pretty much the only redeeming feature on this pile.

Well, it looks like some brutalist tumor stuck on an otherwise modern glass box. I see how it could complement a building, but not this one.

This has turned out better than I thought it would. You can see that some real thought and planning went into this building, and the form of the tower is pleasing. The materials, well, that brings it down a notch, but still more of a success than a failure. A pleasant addition to the Casa-cluster.

I just noticed this last night and I was quite surprised by it. I was not expecting Chaz to have a prominent lighting feature. It looks like it's not finished though. Did any of you guys know about this? Check it out in this video.

It's been on the last couple of nights. Not a fan. Not of the red. Maybe another colour but this just looks like Xmas lights and clashes with the current yellow on casa.
Maybe it will grow on me. I feel like if it were blue or white or purple I'd be into it. I do like the hello on casa more than the previous red as well.

They're going to cover that concrete, right? Right?
