This building is impressive in how it compliments yet distinguishes itself from Acqualina. Where Acqualina has glassy facades with monumental geometric forms in the framing patterns, this building has more fine-grained geometric forms in its window patterns and massing. Where Acqualina's facade is predominatly greenish grey, Monde has a light beige that harmonizes nicely without adopting the cheapness of greenish glass. They go well together and avoid monotony.
