I think we all agree that the crown could use a little pizzazz as opposed to the boxy flat roof we expect it to have as of now. A friend of mine showed me renderings for an earlier version of the tower. It had a similar tapering crown to One57 and the cantilever was smoothly blended into the side of the tower. It was a very graceful design. This boxy version is much more... practical I guess. That's the best word I can use to describe the building thus far. Still, it's not a bad building by any means.
