I'm glad they are incorporating the weather tower, but I'd rather see it on top of the mid-rise element rather than in a niche as presented. It almost looks like they are keeping it on top of the existing building and adding floors on top of that, but I doubt the existing hotel has the structural capacity to add floors.
I'd also like to see them retain the glass enclosed staircase with the triangular (semi-geodesic) windows. I remember when...
