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.
I agree 100%. The tower portion is what I like the best. It is consistent from top to bottom, but has subtle design differences floor to floor that make is pleasing to the eyes. All they used was a balcony column design that changes every two floors, which is a master stroke of architecture that adds so much to the building without radically changing its footprint. Along the inner elevations they included random inset balconies that give the building a chaotic feel, but it works so well.
The podium is unique and is easily one of the best in the region. That is not saying much, for some reason our developers and architects suck/ don't care about designing podiums.
Again I would give this project less then a 10% chance of being built with its current proposal. This is what I see being built in 2030's at some point.
