Agree Bob that the renderings are a bit bland, perhaps tricky. However, I tend to agree with Stenar regarding the design, particularly when getting into the weeds with Isaac's excellent write up on Building Salt Lake. One thing that isn't as apparent enough in the renderings as I think will be in reality is the curvature/angles of the frontage. I like how the straight line is broken away on the upper floors from the street frontage. I think this will really enhance the visual appearance, along with a few other aspects such as the street retail, recessing of windows in the lighter colored areas and the corner engagement. I do like the color scheme, but am a little concerned with the lack of facade material quality, at least as it appears in the rendering. The lines pattern etched into the facade could mitigate the blandness of the concrete appearance. It's a popular treatment on newer complexes here in L.A., and can work well.
