There is no spectacular architecture here, but this is the kind of missing-middle construction that we clamour for. The colours are OK, and I quite like the variation in height and distance from the street.
I wouldn't give Vive that much credit. Their thesis is basically that because of the demand for housing (& low vacancy rates), they can build as cheap as possible and still charge comparable rents to nicer buildings. This approach may catch-up to them eventually, but now the supply constraint means they will get away with it.
