Mind you, it IS more consistent with one of their renders, where you can see the consistent pillars inside, so maybe they did design for them after all, and the scale model just doesn't show them:
Although it is hard to tell perspective wise if those 3 pillars you are seeing inside are all in the front, or if you're just seeing 3 continuous ones all behind each other so to speak, as it looks like there is brick wall between them, so that might just be one continuous wall going deeper into the building.. the perspective is so perfectly aligned it's impossible to tell from just one picture..
I do love the design though, it's such a BEEFY building with so many different points of interest - if one is to go modern I prefer this look.
