Here are a couple screenshots from the Trump Tower website of the detailing at the base.

You can see the detailing in the granite in the pictures. I also noticed the use of I beams as ornamentation (similar to the TD Center).

I love the hideously rusted light standards the artist included in his second render. Now that is attention to detail and realism!

LOL

looking at these renderings and thinking back to what I saw tonight I worry that the "green" colour makes this project look cheap, rather then if they had gone for a more timeless neutral colour or even all black

 

[Pinkie]

I second that! Not a fan of the green, as of yet.

I really like the green so far. Adds some vibrancy to an otherwise dull area.

It just might work out

So is that a giant granite panel - like a precast panel, but of cut stone?

I've just now noticed the verticle bands of light along the columns of the base in the rendering posted above. They should nicely match the large band of LED lighting running along the glass spine of the tower. Hope they remain.

I think the green is ok as an accent with the black windows covering most of the building - but green all over this building will look very dated in a few years

Hi

Yes it is.

I'm pretty sure that green is only going to show up on the bottom third of the building based on the renders.
I think it looks really good next to that granite!
Thanks for the photo.

That's nothing like precast. That's a curtainwall frame, but instead of being clad with glass its clad with stone.

The renders of this building are tricky. Sometimes it seems like the green is only going a bit of the way up but other times it looks green at the top. The coloring scheme changes a lot in every drawing. Either way I think this looks very promising so far.

Hmmmm... Seems they have added additional horizontal "feature cuts" to the granite, that isn't represented in the render shown recently. This should add some additional character to the facade at street level.

Really, this far in and no gold? You can barely even tell it's a Trump!
