"Appearing poised to slip off the building's angled façade, the perforated aluminium shows the angst and distress of the tower and its immediate environment.

"[7] The main façade shows a grid of perforated aluminium screens, including a vertical crease running down the full length of the facade.

the horizontal striated motif defined by the perforated aluminium skin is continued around the corner to the north and south by the exposed, projected floor plates but the horizontality is broken by the three distinct sections of verticality representing the apartments on the western half, a central hallway typical of "H-tower block form"[9] and the balconies of the apartments on the eastern half of the tower.

The walls in the residential foyer are clad in reflective glass and stainless steel panels, set under a white ceiling (originally meant to be black).

A lineage of formal language can be traced from Elenberg Fraser's treatment of Liberty Tower through their immediately following work to their more recent projects.
