I dont understand the love affair with 30 W. Oak. I will admit that its curved face is nice but is that really enough to completely overlook the failure of design and execution of the rear of this building? Im guessing if Lowenberg used high quality glass on the Regatta we'd be singing its praises as well. The Lancaster is better accomplished as a complete design. In my opinion, its expensive curtain wall is the only thing thats keeping 30 W. Oak away from Lakeshore East.
