When we inevitably get tired of this style, it's buildings like these that will haunt us forever.
 
Looks like it will create a nice streetwall. The style may be becoming somewhat tiresome, but I think it's relatively inoffensive and will age well.
 
Yeah, as long as quality materials are used and the buildings are maintained well, I don't think these will become dreary reminders of the '00s in 20-30 years. This one isn't spectacular, but like many others it's using modernist elements that haven't gone out of style in 60 years.
 
Well, it's modernism without quite the rigorously disciplined minimalism that has been applied to the designs of Murano or Casa or Spire for example: Boutique's proportions reveal suburban slab in its ancestry that the aforementioned projects don't have.

This one's not terrible, but it's not noteworthy either (typed the one composing the note...).

thats a gorgeous looking model! I love the way the proportions of the two buildings play off each other. The red brick on the podium sections should help these fit into the neighbourhood nicely... and ya, nice looking street wall indeed!
 
well... I like them, question: on that roof... are those 4 hottubs? or firepits? or.. huh?

I like the shorter one more, I think its more proportional, however I like that the taller one will tie in SLIGHTLY more (height wise) with its neighbour shangri-la. so the pair gets a nod of my head.

Those 4 things up there are firepits. The amenity area spans the entire roof. I believe that photo only shows the right-side of the building. The center is an enclosed lounge/bar, while the left-hand side has a reflection pool, lounge chairs and another bar(?).

Then again, from an architectural preservationist's standpoint, beware the reflex that "inevitably" gets tired of a style...
