I like they are going wtih “punched” windows; not the floor-to-ceiling glass that is done so often on these new condo towers. I have also noticed that the construction method used here is a fairly common detail: Metal stud framing between the concrete slabs, with sheetrock panels applied to the metal studs. I guess the final layer will be the finsihed facade material - whatever that material will eventually be still remains to be seen. Hoping to see some high quality, fine finsh material on this facade: all looking good so far. :wolf: :star_struck:

This is going to be a nice looking, modest, architectural design from what we can see so far. :star_struck:

AI Overview

A Punched window is an individual window unit set into a distinct opening in a building’s exterior wall, appearing as if “punched” through the facade. Unlike continuous ribbon windows, these are separated by wall materials, providing better privacy, structural support, and energy efficiency, often used in masonry, residential, and office buildings.

Key Usage Examples

  • Commercial/Office Buildings: Used to create private offices while allowing natural light, often incorporating vision control treatments.
  • Residential Structures: Commonly used in apartment blocks to create a distinct, separated look for each window.
