Yah the only thing they kept is the stair step facade and the (now out of place) vertical brick strips. The lack of contrast between the metal and brick isn’t helping either. As for the glass curtain wall, the designer should have known better than to even propose that. Even if they could afford it (so much more expensive that regular windows) that would make soundproofing between those units very challenging. That’s one reason you rarely see curtain wall windows in residential.
