Now it's just another uninspiring build unfortunately. I expected more from acclamation. Well, I hope THEY are happy at least.
I guess my only consolation is the first 2 floors don't look TOO bad so far - and with some awnings or signage maybe it won't look too bad.. I will wait to see the final unveil. That and I want to see it lit up at night - the renders show it lit and that might change the overall look of it - that and the lack of the quality balcony treatments and the lack of balance in mirroring the design from the original really took the wind out of the sails on this one.
If we compare the original:
To what is there so far:
You can see the lack of the balcony going all the way across at the top and the odd jutout on the right instead of the middle really unbalance this building.What was once striking the eye no longer knows what to do with from an aesthetic pov - imo this part was a real disaster.
The render was also misleading in the glows and finishes it used - the balcony glass will never look like that and the stucco is never reflective - these 2 elements help to make what are actually rather drab design choices actually look better. The stucco feels more alive and the glass looks frosted in the render. Very misleading.
