I really like how BSN looks in the third pic down in Mike's post. It almost soars, and hides its mass quite well.

I agree, this one 'stacks' up quite well.

I really don't like the brickwork at the bottom. Reminds me of a shopping mall from the 80's.

That's funny because I've talked to a lot of people who do like the brickwork, and are excited to see something instead of just bricks.

I rather think that BSN's podium brickwork ties in / relates nicely to older existing buildings along Charles Street & Hayden Street ... IMO of course

10 days later. Looks like they're working on the final penthouse level.

Floorplans

it appears Cresford has finally put the BSN website back up ... and now floorplans are shown for the 'added floors'

Those are the longest, narrowest, most waste-of-space-ful penthouses I have ever seen. The lower penthouses that face south aren't so bad.

Those layouts remind me of pre-war midtown/uptown apartment houses in NYC, but not as skinny and sans maids living quarters.

...and the New York "shotgun" apartments rarely have windows either than at the ends. These shallow apartments will get way more than the average amount of light.

The penthouse designs do seem rather weak... although I like the idea of walking like forever to get from one end of my place to the other.

I wonder if Cresford's released or had much interest in the Casa penthouses.

The plans would work if you had a virtual art gallery to install on your hallway walls. I hope there are provisions for lots of lighting in the ceiling.
