This one suffers from "front and back architecture"; the render above shows the "back". The front which is facing the lake and parking lot has received all the design attention while the back and sides are a plain unbroken facade with tiny windows and will look like an awful housing project from the seventies. Unfortunately, the "back" is also facing Quidi Vidi Village and the road. It has a plain unbroken facade with very small windows; the ends which actually face the road and village are also like this. This needs some tweaking like breaking up the facades, making the windows a different shape, adding some gabled offsets or maybe some balconies, or some other creative idea. The alluding to a fortress here just doesn't work very well.
