I really like the design of both towers, though I would have sited the residential tower a little further away from the office tower just to give residents on that side a little more breathing room from the office tower windows. The stepped up greenhouses on the residential side of the podium are a cool feature, though I feel like they missed an opportunity to have a rooftop pool deck. Is that something that's not very common in Calgary?
And what is it with pedestrian skybridges? Sure, they're convenient for people too lazy to leave the floor their on, but they really kill the pedestrian experience on the ground.
