Better than the first V2 we saw, but the way the building terminates at the roof is still somewhat unsatisfying- it feels truncated.

The design language of the facades also feels somewhat divorced from the actual shape of the building, but that's just me.
 
no, it's not just you, I agree completely. some good observations there... really what it is, is a lame attempt to do something other than the usual cheap glass box but all we have is a cheap glass box with some random sections cut out at the top with no creativity to how the whole thing needs to resolve at the top. regrettably it is an improvement over the original design though.
 
What kind of creativity are you expecting? The only reason the 'random sections' are cut out at the top is the 75 degree angular plane in OPA 183 and SASP 382. To CentreCourt, it's all just lost density.
