At a public hearing today the LPC once again urged developers CPC Resources and Isaac Katan to rethink the design that Beyer Blinder Belle has produced for repurposing the landmark Domino refinery building. According to a post on the WPGA blog, “In a nutshell, the majority of the Commissioners felt that addition was too tall and that it was not the the right design for this building.” Beyer Blinder Belle, meanwhile, compared its design to the Tate Modern, the Morgan Library and the Hearst Tower.
