As much as I wanted to dislike this building, it just 'fits'. The taper, the overzsized cornice, the odd-sized pyramid cap, all things I typically am bothered by. Then I saw it in person.

It's a really good example of contextual architecture that works. Proof that you can be opposed to the fundamentals of something, and yet appreciate it for the fact that it isn't intrusive or bad.
