what an absolutely hideous group of buildings! all the same materials, same style, same height. it may as well be a single monolith. a crime against humanity.
sadly, I feel this has turned out to be a disappointment. the overall shape of the building is a positive, but the cladding is bland and boring. this building struggles to stand out from the other equally bland all glass buildings that it neighbours. I feel like the outline of the building...
