The Lori Morris interiors are quite hideous. Lots of dark finishes with tons of gold/brass. The common areas look like a men's club and doesn't look like it will be an enduring classic. AND a bitch to clean.
So this garbage is happening...
I know "faux" architecture is frowned upon by the architectural community, but most people would think this looks good, and I happen to be one of those people. Call me a philistine, I guess ?
It appears that this was approved through an OMB appeal—PL060214—that was launched in 2006, (not sure what year it was decided), long enough ago now that there are no documents online that I can find.I passed the site this weekend and they dug a big pit already, the side is also enclosed by wood boards. So it is definitely in process. How could it be approved, with it violating almost EVERY single zoning bylaws (height, density, set back, etc)????!!!!!
A fine example of oligarchitecture.
