Hey cityplaceguy, looking at some of your posts around here makes me wonder if you and urbandreamer are related somehow... :cool:
 
I don't mind the roof design here, especially compared to the vulgarity of other rooftop designs, such as NY Towers to state the obvious example.

NY towers are the worst of the recent boom towers , just awful, although , i recall reading here they were supposed to be much taller,...which would have made them slimmer?, and just better.....for all the critics of city place , uptown etc....this is bad. (NY Towers)
It's funny, Uptown alludes to NY, and does a pretty decent job. These towers are stating the fact and are horrible. You don't mimic actual, architectural, specifics ever, unless your Las Vegas, (still awful, but they get it?) ....or if you are borrowing, say the buttresses of a cathedral, and adhering to that asthetic, but from a different school. Cathedral to tower (Chicago Tribune)....not tower to tower.

Thank you AG. I don't know if im alowed to take pics of the inside of these buildings. But, if anyone knows that i wont get in trouble, I would gladly show everyone the superb finishes on the insides of the units.
 
Don't worry Padrinho.I'll just rest my monitor on it's side to view those unflipped pictures.. Damn it's hard to keep it from falling over!

I really like this project for some reason. The rooftop elements are nice, but I think the selling point for me is the name; "Beyond The Sea & Star."

Thanks for the pics Padrinho and welcome! I don't think there are any issues with sharing interior pics and finishes, I would love to see what it looks like ;)
 
What, urbandreamers posts are pretty well right-on.. where as this guy doesnt make any sense.

check back in this thread, UD hates these buildings as well. As for me, totally digging the sail boat motif of the roof elements / bulding shape. Cant speak for quality of construction or materials but these sure are eye catching from the highway.
 
some balcony pics taken from the south tower back in July
