West building girls and east building boys...

Honestly have you ever seen ONE G+C project executed with glazing like this?
I'm pretty sure they would have pay an extra premium for renders that show all those tiny mullions and back painted glass their buildings usually end up with... >.<
 
This is so unfortunate.
Hasn't the LGBT community been through enough? 🤣
Next up, ONE Properties is gonna hire Mark Saunders to blame us gays for the building being ugly 😂

West building girls and east building boys...
Honestly, I'd settle for the west building if we could just do literally anything better with the east one.
 
I think this is a decent jumping off point in terms of massing but the architecture needs to be refined /re-visited.

The 2-storey brick treatment on Church looks like an afterthought. But the bigger sin is the stepped podium attached to the tower - it looks like the creature bursting out of Kane's chest in "Alien".
