I don't understand ANY of Lagrange's details. It's like he's taking the ethos of Postmodernism to a whole new level, using vaguely traditional massing and materials while rejecting any kind of visual order at the scale of an individual detail.
Most attempts at traditional design have a few things that are off, in terms of proportion, scale, or materials, but Lagrange's buildings are so consistently "off" that I'm starting to think it must be intentional.
