Would it have been so difficult to make the building tan rather than Halloween colors? I suppose this was the site of a “holdout.”
Peculiar architecture notwithstanding, I applaud the gesture to pull back and not block the nice outside corner windows of the Art Deco neighbor. For once, a setback that actually seems prudent.
Unusual, and I like it. But please explain why architects only seem to think about design above the first floor with most all new projects. In the past, a proud entrance for pedestrians was what mattered. Today, the entrance often looks like a back alley service door.
A big part of that is because the developers are trying to use all the available buildable square footage determined by zoning for space that will generate income. This often will result in trying to squeeze in an extra floor and an almost lilliputian lobby level with low ceilings and an often sunken ground floor is the unfortunate result.
It doesn’t quite fit in, color-wise, but I find it beautiful, with lots of character. Bravo to the architects for making the effort
General design and setback good. Color not so good.
