Installing one of the pieces of glass in one of the indented sections of the facade Actually looks pretty damn good! I am really loving the overlap.

It's hard to tell from the pics, but I wonder if the window portion is the same transparency as the very bottom overhang piece.

I love the overlapping effect. I'm sure it's going to look real good when complete.

Thanks for the update.

This was taken about a week ago. Building looks really slick from some angles, clear glazing going in along the podium levels:

Kinda sad the building's most boring side will be the one seen in the skyline the most.
