They will need security 24/7 to protect all that glass from the local street life.

I really like it, but I wonder how it would have looked if instead of the grey/silver horizontal elements were the same colour as the original building to tie the two together.

Here's hoping they will brighten, enliven that SEC plaza.

Great addition to our dt - look forward to some greenery out front. Some original renders.

Is this green terrace still happening?

There will be a planting scheme but not anything like these renderings.

I do hope that we see some positive movement on the block across the street from the Winspear as well as the Harbin gate to be finally reinstalled in its new home.

Doesn't look that promising for any ground level new trees in the plaza unless they plan to bust up some of the recently poured concrete.

Because the second level outdoor plaza has been scaled back significantly, the ground floor plaza space is a lot bigger and will need something.

The scaleback is disappointing, but I guess it’s business as usual in this city. Still excited for this though.

I kinda wish Michael Douglas could come and pay a visit to some of these developers' offices:

great addition to the city's amenities but disappointed in the lack of integration with the existing building, right down to simple color choices... in my opinion the grey doesn't go with the Winspear's color palette.

Pretty well sums it up. Not the jewel that it was made out to be.
