why that facade?
Oh dear….
5mil for 40 units? dream on.
hideous. this is not architecture. it’s decoration. and bad decoration at that.
Are the architects laughing at us? Are we at war and this building needs to hide from enemy aircraft? What? That top rendering isn’t even 27th St, it’s the 4300 block of MLK. I went to the architects website; they seem perfectly capable of extruding relatively inoffensive background buildings that don’t look like a sample book fell down on the building model and they just decided to glue it in place. I’d offer them 4 more floors if they’d just pick one material and stop trying to induce seizures in the passersby.
