That's what makes them nice. The simplicity of the towers with the simplicity of the arches which are a timeless feature in architecture - a perfect shape to use in project that sits on such a historic site - work in such a way that it makes no attempts at grandeur over the natural surrounding landscape which is what drew people to the area in the first place.

Honestly one of the best designs I've seen used in this region. It's not even built but I could do a whole write up on the aesthetics of this. I love it.
