If it gets built, I'd be curious if they've taken into account how the sun rays hitting the south side of the building will bounce off, especially during the winter months when the sun further down in the southern horizon. It may be why the south face is slanted a bit but the half that slants down is what I'm interested with. Could be a boiler on the pool deck.

It's happened before with buildings directing light and heat causing some unintended consequences.

Great example: Museum Tower in Dallas.

I forgot about that but good example. I was thinking of that building in london, (sorry I can't think of it's name) that caused cars and storefronts to melt since it acted like a magnifying glass.

I can't remember the name either, but it's nicknamed the "walkie talkie" building.
