We did this 11 years ago. I had a look at it on the way to quoting on a house two doors away, in Caulfield, West Vancouver. It still looks great. We will be doing the exterior of the house two doors away, in May 2021, using Benjamin Moore's ULTRA SPEC MASONRY ELASTOMERIC WATERPROOFING COATING. It is built on rock, with some serious inclines, so scaffolding will be erected for us before we arrive. - same designer, Lisa King, who is unlisted and exclusive to the $$$$$ set.

Painted in the fall of 2018. This unit was started by the general contractor's painter. The client, my client, didn't like the work being done and called me in to do it proper. For good reason. See that expansive ceiling? It gets flooded with light and any imperfections in the paint application are going to be amplified to 11. The painter had painted the ceiling on a super hot day, without adding an extender to the paint. So it dried almost immediately. Roller marks were showing going every direction imaginable. It looked painful. They had also painted some of the walls, and where the brush met the ceiling was absolutely crooked. The walls were full of holes and even a couple cracks. Certainly not the standard of work one would expect in a 26th floor condo. - we came in and did it right.

This is an excellent documentary with access to some of the best examples of West Coast Modernist interiors and exteriors. A nice evening or weekend watch.
