My favorite thing about the design is the fact that the orientation of the step-down feature is towards the lake. When I saw the preliminary sketch that's been passed around for a bit, I was meh about it, but I like how it declines to the shore and Cesar Chavez. The brown color is a bit of a surprise but at the same time, some of Austin's most well-known pre-Frost Tower buildings are clad brown. This will definitely help balance the overwhelming splash of blue glass that's been used on most recent projects, especially if the glass also tints black or brown. As far as the finishes, I'm in wait-and-see mode, but the shape is good.
