Yesterday morning, Neat B and I were up at Friday Harbour messing about on jet skis with some friends. It was a lot of fun. It's a good little day trip if you're ever looking for something to do in the summer.
I think that the developers of Friday Harbour have done a wonderful job creating a new waterfront resort and creating an alternative to traditional cottages. I know a bunch of people who have opted for a place here instead. It's closer to Toronto, you don't have the same upkeep, and you get to enjoy urban amenities while still feeling like you're "up north."
Yesterday I also noticed that the most recent phase — which is just finishing up construction — looks like this:

Never before have I seen balcony guard glass like this — at least not here in the Toronto region. It is some kind of iridescent laminated glass, which changes color depending on the light and the viewing perspective. I would imagine that it also offers some degree of privacy benefits, because it got fairly opaque from some angles.
But the primary feature is that it just looks cool. And I think more projects should have fun like this. There's no need to be afraid of color.
What do you think?

The constant updates bring in so many new items, weapons, and features, keeping the game fresh. https://melon-sandbox.io/
I think it looks fantastic, and would love to see a similar thing used here in England. Our towns and cities are seeing a lot of new apartments going up these days, many with balconies.
I agree! When I look at Toronto’s downtown core, I sonically imagine a gloomy chord, held indefinitely.
Looks good although I suspect its very building specific where it would work.
