Best glass you've seen on a large building

I'm trying to find examples of a large-scale curtain wall installation, where the glass is extremely high-quality... ie: with no warp whatsoever in the reflection? The best glass I've seen recently is:

Promod store in Prague

panoramio.com

Bitexco Tower in Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam

The above photo makes the glass look better than what it is, giving the appearnce of no mullions, and implying a slight fish-scale overlap of glass panels between floors. Unfortunately, the glass panes don't overlap in reality, and there are aluminum mullions as shown below:

Some of the glass panels appear curved, so it can't be too cheap =)

The best example from Vancouver would be Jameson House which is under construction:

Any other examples of nice glass?
