And maybe it'll look much better in practice. But so far, I'm not a fan.
I guess its good that it won't be highly visible then? lol

I don't mind the design, its a bit eclectic which actually helps it fit in at the very diverse collection of buildings at LSE. You got the ugly-ish Lowenberg pomo midrises (Shoreham & Tides), the modernist SCB designed 340 OTP & bKL Coast, and the gorgeous and graceful Gang designed Aqua and Vista.

Get it in before the market turns!
