Ya that crown sure could use a nice accent lighting for sure. The over all look of these three together is grown on me now. Any word on the progress of phase two?
 
I'd wager the gold is not actually part of the building.
I can't remember which building this happened with previously, but the renders were similar, and then it turned out that the renders just "assumed" a golden/orange sunset reflecting off the glass.
From what I can see, it looks like it'll be blue glass.
That said, I'd certainly welcome gold.

The trim appears unambiguously gold in this render. It’s gold, even in the parts without direct sunlight.

I am awaiting for the details to least distract us from it. Though if they're planning to use that window wall liberally through out this project, they gonna have to have a lot of details to distract us from it. /sigh

I love the gold accents, it looks like maybe a new trend is starting? First the One's gold exoskeleton, then the HUB, and now this? could be a unique twist on what has been a mostly blue glass skyline, and personally I am for it.

Tangent: UT's story on Sam and The One's exoskeleton's angled cladding mock-ups, points to the changing day-time palette... that may include a goldish hue. Perhaps night-lighting will also give us an Au glitter. This shot of the bronze mechanical grilles (I assume this would match the exoskeleton) is the only one I've seen in fairly neutral light.

^Correction: the darker bronze grilles won't match the exoskeleton cladding (which seems beige/yellow) as render review clearly shows. :oops:

Yes, least we're not going to see grey spamdrel for The One...once it gets off the ground and hopefully in our lifetimes. Can't say the same for this for this project though. /sigh

Waiting for the second floor to see how the floor slab cladding turns out. I am also hoping that the balcony railings and glass will be able to integrate the waist-high mullion into the overall design.

The plus so far is that there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of spandrel, but the negatives are the uneven sizes of the window units and unexpected appearance of another horizontal mullion at the top of each unit.

I guess the good thing is that the largest tower is also going to be in curtain wall, but this sort of gives off the impression of wearing sneakers with a tailored suit.
