how many times can they build the same building in a 4 block radius??? what passes for architecture here is a joke. and the fact that people eat them up and get excited over it is tragic comedy.

This one is just about a wrap, just a couple of tiny tweeks and she's done.

Based on the photos I took, June 3rd, 2024:

A mess, bland, boring, bulky

This one would have been decent if they'd used warm and bright colours. The way it's done it comes across as so gloomy.

I get that black isn't everyone's thing...........

But gloomy?

I wouldn't have said so............I might say formal, or even a bit cool. (not in the trendy way, but in the not warm way)

Edit to add:

I'm not particularly taken w/this at street level, but that's how I feel about pretty much everything ..........mostly 'Casas I, II and III' along this stretch of Charles.

But I'm not sure black on the tower is the problem.............

Agreed. I think it looks great in person. Nicely finished and well executed.

It turned out more ''subtle' than I expected from the renders, which is a good thing! This was achieved by the balcony rail color matching the facade (as opposed to silver or grey balconies), and use of white paint under the balcony.

I was expecting the balconies would get more obnoxious treatment like at YC condos.

Black can definitely look formal, sexy, classy, etc. But here I think it's just dark.

It's fine on a bright day, but buildings in these dark colours look grim during the gloomy winter months when we need all the colour and warmth we can get.
