I am not sure why a new building has to tie-in to any of the other buildings around it? They did an awful job blending it in with the arrow lofts. Its like they thought about it, then decided, na lets just build it as cheep as possible with small nods to the arrow lofts. Which is worse in my opinion, they should have just gone with something completely different.(11-26-2020, 06:45 PM)GarthDanlor Wrote: Yeah, it doesn't seem to be a popular opinion but I don't mind it either. When finished it will tie in fairly well with the existing buildings. Maybe it would have looked better if they raised the brick up another couple of stories?
It will definitely "tie in" with nearby buildings. It looks almost identical to the Drewlo Iron Horse tower (pictured below), and similar enough to the Barra and existing Arrow lofts colours. I think it will look very cheap in comparison to the existing Arrow lofts though. Personally I don't like any of them except the first Arrow lofts.
I understand that most people could care less what the exterior of the building looks like, as long as the interior finishes are nice and that is a valid point. I just think they could have done a lot better with the design. It could not be more bland if it tried.
