I need to see more material installed, when I went by this afternoon, IMO it looked decent.

I saw the exterior paneling today in person, and I don’t mind it. It’s nicer looking than I was expecting.

And the melted choc late begins!

I like that the dark panels have texture.

 

[BigWoofer]

This ain't bad. It certainly can't be less boring than the original, pre-conversion.

I like how they kept the original panels and just applied these new thin alu strips over top. That means, in 20 years, when all of them are peeling off, it will slowly reveal the original facade...

I wasn’t liking the cladding very much, but it looks better in person. I’ll wait to reserve judgment when it’s finished, but I think the shiny reflective white will be a good contrast against the matte and textured brown.

I think the panels would look nicer if the whole building was white and the dark corrugated panels were used along the windows

 

[Surrealplaces]

I'm wondering if the white panels will be reflective. There's plastic film on the panels, and once removed maybe the panels will be more of a flat white.

 

[Surrealplaces]

The shininess on the white panels is due to the plastic wrapping, but even without the wrapping, they’re still fairly reflective. Also kind of a neat surprise was the reflection of the sun off of the fins that are part of the brown paneling.

It’s fine. The old facade was as boring as they come, I prefer this.

If you like prison architecture I guess - the small windows are depressing

It's giving me getting Federal Government Office building in Ottawa vibes.
