I get that some people are uncomfortable with unconventionality, some even afraid of it. But it’s just that. Something that doesn’t conform to what you’re used to seeing. This tower is in many ways a lot like the programming for Tower Fifth, the constraints on the lot pushing the bulk of the tower into the sky. Whereas Tower Fifth presents it’s form as a box, the increasing cantilevers here put more of the space - therefore the people - closer to the top. If built, it would truly be a building head and shoulders above the others in the area.

It ain't natural.

You’re as entitled to your opinion as anyone else, even if you are the only one. But unless you’re telling me that it technoligically couldn’t be built, then your fears are just that. It’s 2021. Do I think it’s designed as a New York tower. No. That would be 175 Park. But I do think this would be a nice tower.
