To be fair, saving a bunch of design fees from over-priced consultants is smart. As this proves, Minecraft is all the design software you need!Seen on LinkedIn, a rendering of what is planned for their lot on the other side of 6th Ave:

The massing is the issue. I've never seen a cube so cubed.more articulate or varied massing
It's about as basic a cube as you can get, and maybe adding some articulation here and there so it's at least like Homespace on 12th would change that. Not sure what the cost difference would be though. I'm wondering this because they've already done with one on the north side of 6th with a design that has more diversity, so why not do the same for the second one? Unless costs have gone up to a point where they are trying to save money perhaps?The massing is the issue. I've never seen a cube so cubed.
If it is going together like lego, you can surely have some blocks protrude and intrude slightly for minimal cost. Or just have one less unit per floor and have it step back in a corner. That would be very interesting visually but not add anything but the crane operator looking twice at the drawing versus once.It's about as basic a cube as you can get, and maybe adding some articulation here and there so it's at least like Homespace on 12th would change that.
