There are too many flaws for such an eye-catching building like the big mechanical box and lobby with cheap furniture, inappropriate lighting fixture(s), and art with that should have been chosen with bolder colours in mind.
Really ? I almost like it better with the mechanical box on top - if it wasn't clad it'd be terrible but it almost adds a little roof element the way it is!
I tried to send unaddressed mail to the residents of this building but Canada post informed me that the residents still don’t get their mail and that they need to call the local postal office in order to get their mail. Can anyone confirm that?

The art component was lit up about two or three weeks ago, but it's been too damn cold to get out and photograph it until tonight. It looks mighty fine. By day it looks red, when illuminated at night it has more of an orange colour to it which may or may not be the white/off white shade of lights being used to illuminate it. I took these without a tripod (not smart) from Jarvis Street looking S/W, unfortunately there's a sizable X2 advertising board eliminating any chance of getting a shot from the more dramatic looking south side.

No, the edges of the lower balconies are catching the upward facing lighting which illuminates the trees from below but you can't see the effect because there are no leaves on the trees. You can barely see the young trees in front of X's Jarvis Street windows in the 2nd photo above. It will be a nice effect come spring, very similar to what has been done on Bloor Street in Yorkville.
I usually don't like most modern, public sculptures... And that holds true for this one as well. In fact, you could even say that I am not Gaga over this sculpture.
