I agree
I completely agree. I can't think of any residential building like this that has gone up recently. No, the finishes on the outside of the building aren't very unique and I agree with some comments that it has a bit of an institutional feel, but the L shape is very interesting and original for the area and I think it will end up being a very nice addition to the neighborhood.
Regarding using a red brick though, if you look at all the building in front of 20 Gothic, and even some around it, they are almost ALL red. If 20 Gothic had gone red it would just have disappeared in the sea of red brick. I like the way it stands out a bit, but still maintains the 'feel' of the neighborhood.
That's my opinion anyway. I'm often completely wrong about things though
'L' - shaped buildings are not that common these days. The front terrace is a nice touch, too.
