If the fins had shape or shape variation it may look better but... :toilet:

Like is it me or a the final a silver and the building a yellow sand? That’s such an ugly blend. Unless it’s the lighting?

Thanks so much for these images.
When it’s cloudy it looks almost white. Interesting.

Thanks for the photos Andy. It's still a little, ermm, yeah nah for me at this stage. The taller it becomes the more disjointed it looks.
Walking on over....

The tower fits so snugly on one half of the property that I wouldn't put it past them to propose a stage 2 tower.

Not only is this ugly but it blocks out Realm from that view.

I’m not too bothered by the design. It adds height to the skyline and variation - it’s not another glass box. If visitors ask, just tell them it’s a telephone exchange building :lol:

Yep, exactly. A few levels in and peeps getting all in a tizz! At least the developers are trying, for better or worse, to keep within the North Terrace memo... sandstone colour, without much glass. A case of damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just my :2cents:
