To me, it looks like the designers were trying too hard to make capital-A Rotterdam-style Architecture... I just don't understand the point of stacking a bunch of different mini buildings on top of one another in such a way. I for one don't find the overall effect cool & innovative, but rather busy & disjointed.
 
Not sure how I feel about the stone base. Hmmm. This one's interesting. I like it, but I can't decide if it should be simplified/made neater or if I like just how odd it is.
 
I like colour but this is perhaps a bit too busy. The base looks good overall but I think too many different materials. And wow that must be like 1000 different floor plans.
 
I like the base and use of colour - boy do we need more colour in this city! I'm kinda' mixed about the tower portion, but I don't dislike it. As someone said already, at least it's different.
I'm wondering what the shadows to the north will be like with a tall, wide building like this on Barbara Ann Scott/College Park.
 
better then average glass box- i think its odd tower design will turn heads the podium base looks like it hits the street well
 
Is there a timeline on this ? Its a rental building so technically it can go up whenever.
