Good stuff, great to see. I speculated from jrb's photos last week that the perforated panel was a mock-up to discharge the condition on the louvers. And now from yours, I am almost convinced it is. For one, nothing else has been done to it or around it. And two, it is on the wrong level. So unless they have changed the design and colour of the horizontal bands throughout, it can only be a sample imo.

Actually, I will slightly revise this.

While I still think that particular panel is a sample, I now think there has been a change and the perforations will be introduced across the whole hotel facade.

If you look at the photo below from that particular angle, you can see the silhouette of the two openings behind the perforations. And all around it there is a regular rhythm of those cutouts in the backing panel, and they are about the size and spacing of intake and extract vents. So I think that format of panel will be like that on all the horizontal panels of the hotel.

If that is the case they would definitely be worthwhile changing the colour to the darker grey (as elsewhere where they have the perforated panel) to reduce the contrast and make the louvers less obvious. The question is, will the intermediate panels also have the perforations so it is all continuous or not. I would imagine the planners wanting this.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a planning amendment soon, or maybe a change to the mock-up bay to cover this.
