If they are intent on doing this, I’d much rather see all of the verticals cut short and the observation section stepped back just a hair. Maintain the purity. No clue on the corner elevator, I almost want 2 of them on diagonal corners that then break the roof plane and are joined in a plane at the roof.
This type of facade doesn’t really lend itself to such a violation. See the Paul Hastings Tower in LA for a perfect example of what not to do.
I’m not the biggest ED Stone fan, but this was his seminal work.
