Would anybody be able to post a picture of the front of the prestiege tower? Haven't seen the completed design yet.

A few recent pics. This hawk was hanging around harassing pigeons for a few days but appears to have found a different roost during the storm.

And the last pic is the recent conc pour still emitting enough heat to melt snow.

Why is the divider upon which the hawk is sitting appear to be titled?

 

[Rascacielo]

Wow! Good thing it's still unoccupied (I think) and/or it's winter. I wouldn't want a hawk to fly into my unit when my balcony door is open ...

 

[UtakataNoAnnex]

Goodness, that's a big bird...

The front corner is cut at an angle.

The front corner is cut at an angle.

How very interesting! What do you suppose the purpose of that is? Is it a purely stylistic touch? A bit odd, if it is, although it's about time balcony dividers had some kind of style.

I think it's just the perspective! The photo seems to have been taken from below so the balcony divider seems higher at the front when in fact it's level and not tilted at all. It's just an optical illusion.
