I guess it's because of the unit layout but I'm not a fan of how the "ice cream cake" paneling is disjointed on the Yates-side facade of Nest. It's especially weird because it's aligned on the Johnson-facing side of the building. Well, at least I don't have to look at it every day (my Haven unit is South facing, looking at Nest).
Regarding the Haven strata, nothing has been set up yet since folks are still moving in. Should be any week now I guess. I think I'd be good at it but likely I will stay off for the first round of elections and only apply if I don't like the way it's being run. For what it's worth I think we do have a good property manager, although I don't have anyone to use for comparison.
Yeah, I'm really not sure about that cladding. It makes me want to clamber up there and rotate the panels so the stripes are vertical, just to see how it looks.
I like the design in general and how it matches Haven, although I do agree it looks better on Haven where it's used more sparingly.
This part though would never stop bugging me if I had to see it every day:

This part though would never stop bugging me if I had to see it every day:
The future tenants in the future towers on the car lot will have something to gripe about... assuming the cladding on Nest hasn't worn out and been replaced by the time those future tenants finally move in to those future towers.
No complaints about the panels not lining up from this angle...
Edit: except maybe a bit there on the 9th floor...
