I just think the facade doesn't bear up to close scrutiny. At a distance it looks amazing, yes, but the close-ups show it looking like cheap pre-fab facade coverings.
Maybe I'm jilted by that very type of look on modern Stockholm buildings that try to look old...
I do agree that at a distance, like in scruffy's pics, it looks friggin' awesome, and oh yes I would want it built in my hood even if it ment no more direct sunlight for me.
