Nice find, here’s a good look at the event space/sky bar renders in that vid: ![270 event 1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/c/2/c244f05a45725e5c15bc6061eb25019befad5266.jpeg) ![270 event 2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/7/9/79997531990142f4a8fceb7f7384bf4ec34dcc51.jpeg) ![270 event 3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/7/0/7032141aaf57cb0bd87ed1334edcb6ff9bd9b497.jpeg) ![270 event 4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/a/8/a812452ca938d1f7c5ba8d27f35b90b1c9f76819.jpeg) With a look at the glass skylights in the setbacks above the space, and a look at what the lighting on the diamond features might look like.

Really cool to see more details on the event space! Looks like the cutaway animations were done by Lightfield London, who have also posted an animation of the elevator transfer levels (where the side elevator banks swap to a central core): ![lightfield cutaway](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/7/8/787dfa4552ce9a4e8f75377f62c968aa2d038609.jpeg) [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/b/0/b0169da786e7cf32e72c4e1267725e09f22645bc.jpeg "LightField London Showreel 2024") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUV3A96GaQg&t=32) ---

I really hope that rock wall looks good with the plants on it. Right now it looks awful. Also, how’d you like to be the person on the telescoping BMU? I have to imagine it gets a little bouncy out there. ---

Going to look so much better once the construction elevator is disassembled, allowing the building profile to become more slender. ---

It’ll probably look a bit better as it “ages” due to the elements and general dirt in the air. ---
