Ok, I dont always agree with your analysis of some buildings, but I respect that you are an architect, and as such, I have to ask you.... Who would have designed that finish ? Would it have been part of the design by the architect firm ? Or, is that be the owner inserting their own preference of design. Sort of like a signature of the developer ?
Because I cant imagine people in a boardroom coming to consensus that this would have a good outcome.
I would suggest it was precisely the boardroom that caused that outcome on the basis of cost cutting.
To answer your question: this is another greatest hit in the SRM Architects portfolio (you'll notice a trend on who has designed many of these sore thumbs). And the blend of unpainted and faded black concrete is likely the cost minimum for finishing the building (which was behind schedule and a general mess from start to finish).
The original render wasn't much for promise, though:
