This is actually my second favorite building at the site. "God is in the details". At least make sure to read about them before passing judgement. For instance, the the facade will feature perforated brushed aluminum spandrels. Sheets of the same material will also be placed on the inside of the upper parts of the windows. The effect should be dramatic, giving the building depth and a warm scintillating inner glow.

There are more design features that make this building really excellent, but I can't think of them right this instant. In any case, it may be "understated" but the design is thoughtful and elegant. Not all buildings have to look like Liberace's wardrobe to be outstanding.
