Re the gloom: I wouldn't like it but believe it or not some people actually like dimmer natural light (I'm not one of them but my previous roommates were). Many other buildings with courtyards have the same problem with interior apartments like the low rise broad and spring garden proposal. Many rowhomes especially those facing N/S aren't great for light either and I don't think this would be any worse

This is where I am at. I love this idea of this project, but this version looks so rudimentary and thrown together. If the designer refines the shapes, connectivity, color palate, etc. then this could be an A+ project.
(I wish it were 100'-200' taller though, it would help with the refinement of the massing).
