tscola-
In your opinion, what should the designers at SOM have been referencing in order to be contextual? The gas station on the corner? maybe Oro Gold? oh maybe they could have referenced the empty lots all around and designed a contextual empty lot?
I can’t say that I’m crazy about the location, but in all of Brooklyn, this is one area that new buildings do not need to fit into their context. There’s nothing around!
yes the Location is not good at all
i am trying to find a subliminal image in the glass pattern. so far, it looks like one of those zebra rugs.
Love the look, not so crazy about the location. When is the expected move-in date? Give the downward condo price trajectory, how any of those 70% are gonna seal the deal?
I applaud them for pushing the boundaries of tall glass box buildings. NYC builders just blow so many opportunities to excel in design.
looks pretty good.
let ‘er rip haters.
“Oh well, you will be able to rent there within the year”
Perhaps a few people will, but judging from their website, they look more than 70% sold out.
In my head, I imagine that if you were at the headquarters of SOM, and you shouted the word “contextualism!”, all the architects would start giggling, as if you just said the silliest thing possible.
I do not hate it but it looks like it belongs in Houston. And more like an office tower than residential. Oh well, you will be able to rent there within the year …
