That's a great observation. The only thing that concerns me is whether or not they will continue painting the concrete side. I think it would look better if they painted it a darker gray. Or maybe paint it a darker shade of blue would be nice. it would blend in better with the glass. There's too much of a contrast with the bare light gray concrete color.

By the way, I still stand in awe of the beautiful daring design of the PSFS (Lowes) building. It is hard to believe that building was built in the early 30's. The 'international style,' fits perfect with modern design, and of course, the quality of construction superb. 'They don't make 'em like they used to.'
