I, among others, worked on the renders of this scheme - it was a difficult but fairly enjoyable scheme to work with and it's really very similar to our renders (or should that be the other way around? :) ). I'm not sure what to make of it now it's built. The area is/was a dump so anything fairly decent is welcome in my eyes. I go past it on the train fairly regularly and it undoubtedly catches the eye. I think once the neighbouring schemes have gone up around it it will work in context. as it stands now it's very hard to appreciate properly. the lobby and interior (especially up the top) are fairly amazing by the way. i'd like a chance to see it inside.

i think people often forget that a building should be judged equally on its interior, perhaps especially so, given how striking the exterior is in this case.

oh and it should go without saying that there are FAR worse schemes than this this year. not sure how this one made it through really.
