This turned about a lot better than I thought it would. I honestly thought I would hate this, but with the quality of that window wall being much better than expected, the balconies create a sort of organized chaos texture to the overall composition. With cheaper materials and finishes, this would have been an utter disaster, but here it looks like a purposeful mess, in a kind of Thom Mayne/Morphosis (re: good) kind of way.
