Monkey September 6th, 2004, 01:37 AM The latticework is quite nice, and is reminiscent of SwissRe.
7/10
Orfeo September 11th, 2004, 11:47 AM It is good, but the latice work is going to get compared to that of Swiss RE.
7/10

The facade is certainly very interesting but I guess overall its just too predictable

erbse January 2nd, 2007, 06:43 PM It's the biggest "Ebbelwoiglass" (Applewine-glass) in the entire world, only for this fact it deserves a 10/10 for sure ;) From the proximity regards, it looks much better than in the most photos I think :)
