I noticed over the weekend the concrete facade on the eastern side is being painted a charcoal grey. I wonder if the diagonal elements will get a contrasting colour to match the glass facade?

As seen this morning from Bentham Street, with Victoria Tower in the background:
The combination of reflectivity and the diagonal elements of the facade are beautiful.

Great guess. Some work was in progress on Saturday... hard to tell if this is the final treatment.

The "blank" wall has turned out pretty well in the end - many such cases.

Driving past it this afternoon, I wonder if it's LED light strips that have been installed. I guess we'll see!

Seems weird that this wasn't done before the tower crane came down.

Wish it was taller, at its previous height of 90+m but nice addition the skyline all the same.
