The Elm looks tremendous. Especially p. 16. Using brick and GFRC that mimics limestone (and does so pretty damn well). If they can do something that looks this nice in Overbrook, they can do it in Center City. There is no excuse for some of the cheap, flimsy-looking cladding and thoughtless bays (with materials and colors that don't relate to each other within the building let alone the streetscape). We need to do a lot better when building projects that are part and parcel to contributing structures on key city blocks and where Standard 9 applies.
