I was here yesterday...........but not at the same time as @Rascacielo

I'm liking the tower more than I thought I would.....the curve is handled nicely.............. I'm still undecided on the podiums......my instinct here is that the over sized first and second floors are a poor choice, I would have preferred to see them meet the heritage building floor to floor. Failing that, I would have preferred to see the top of level 1 line up with the top of level 2.......etc. to create a relationship between the two buildings.

Still, I'll wait on the podium cladding before passing final judgement.

While there's no inherent problem with a firm like TFAI taking on working drawings, there is a distinct difference between this (where Madison ensured Steve cashed his cheque and wandered over to Wide Open for a pint) and Elm-Ledbury (where Fitzrovia kept HPA involved with design decisions). The results speak for themselves. This is...as expected.
