I do know that the colored glass panels were taken out of the final design. And for anyone that needs a refresher, this was what the original rendering from way back when showed -- from page 4 of this thread:



Amazing that the focal point of praise (and images) of this development is entirely focused on the preservation of the Farwell. Kind of makes me wonder if our friend Lucien ever trolls the internet to seek out others' opinions of his buildings. If so, he probably wouldn't like SSP that much. lol
I wish more architects and developers did check this board. In the world of business-driven projects, I believe SSP members collectively provide a voice of reason behind design and preservation.
