We've been talking about it in the Austin section. These "notched" office towers. While I'm not crazy about the look they create, though, I do think they can be done in a way that is more of an attractive design feature, I certainly understand from their perspective of wanting outdoor spaces for their tenents. In fact, one of Google's towers in Austin has an airstream trailer in one of those notches that they use as a food court. I just worry that they'll become repetitive in their execution and become a dated fixture of skylines. We already have 4 of them now. 3 that are complete, and another one (6 X Guadalupe) that is under construction.
