A stain actually.

It is possible that they wanted more wall space inside but still wanted the look of all of the windows. I know there are other ways of doing it.

The building now has "jughead syndrome" - the windows looking like lazy half opened eyes.



I hereby dub thee "the jughead lofts"

There are a number of differences. The top level is different: the render was all glass, the build is not. There are no windows to a basement level. And the third level corner doesn't have that little step back on the east side.

Those half-windows are weird, but maybe there's reason for that. Stairwells and elevators?

Oh well. Given some of the uglies that have gone up in this town, I don't think this will rank among the worst. Hopefully whatever exterior colour treatment is applied will bear that out.

If only it had cornices.

Lol, it even has a "seam line" at the top for where a cornice could go! Problem solved!

The half windows are just weird.

Looks like they dropped the basement?

I'm dubbing a new term for this look - commie lego-block.
