me, as Tilburg citizen would be crazy to give this tower a bad rating. It's by far the tallest residential tower in the Netherlands. It's the most impressive tower in the Netherlands at this moment. I don't like the tower very much from the side, but it's so impressive from the front. I'll rate it an 8 for it's height and impressiveness.

i love the tower because it's height and shape simple but impressing. :cheers: 8/10

This is a big bad motherf*cker. Very impressive indeed but in my oppinion very ugly also! I really don't like it.. 5

7/10

5/10

I'm sorry but this is awful. The balcony side with the colors, just clashes with the bland side. I don't like the lighting at night either.

It is impressive, especially for Tilburg. But almost every city has an impressive building, so that's no reason for me to give it a high rating. I don't like the design, I am amazed that the designers could'nt make up anything better in this 21st century. To clarify: It has been completed last year! 4/10

Uglyness! Disgusting That colors at night! Its raping the whole skyline
Allthough it looks very height

5/10 :)

I like it!

It has many aspects - serious, depressing, colourful and playful and all contained within a simple soaring box. Quite an achievement and looks fun at night.

7.5/10

i don't like the colourful side of it. the other parts are ok

6.5/10

It's awful...........Tilburg is just...awful

i don't think you know the city and this is rate our talls and not rate the city :baaa:

No offence, but it in not so impressive

7.5/10 Looks like a skyscraper should do, tall and slim. The balcony-side drags down it some point though.

6/10 - "Built:2004" <- ??

the tower is just finished.

This building is le Corbusier but 21 century style! Might have been his wet dream. 8.5

< 3

It´s a boring and depressing box in daytime and at night it is too colorful (too aggressive colors).

Would be just good enough to fill in the gaps between a lot of 200+ Scrapers.

It would look great without the colors. 7/10

The colours make it nice, it's really impressive to see one high tower out of nowhere.

7/10.

Tall and nice ... 8/10

8/10 for the colours and the hight.

7/10 for the glass sides of the building. I think they should remove the lights, becaus the tower looks cheap.
Impressive tower because of the height.

I heard there are some serious construction problems. ;)

Me as eindhoven citizen (oponent of tilburg:P) thinks this tower kinda looks like a big box if this tower would be round the 100 meters i would rate it 4 but because of it's height 5. although very nice that you can see it from eindhoven with goodweather

6/10

I don't like the mixture of grey and multicolour; it seems to clash quite badly for a building of this height. To me, it's just like a 60's highrise council block but with a bit more colour.

The lighting at night is quite nice though.

5/10

I like...8/10

Haha, uhm.. at first I thought 'Argh, commie block' with its cliche concrete brutalistic facade.. then I slightly warmed to it. After all, the since and prominance it has cannot be argued.. it is a big look tower. I was willing to give it a 7 because despite being what I usually detest it did have a certain something. This was due to me NOT seeing the date constructed.. for something built now, its bordering monsterous.. I'm suprised it was approved..Yet on some pics, it still looks good somehow (how I just do not know)..Tonight the buildings I have already voted on have all been good ratings, so maybe this is just being let off easy by my vote.. but I will give it 6.5

6/10


because of its height

6/10

Plain and kinda boring. The lights at night are kinda cool though...

I'll rate it a 6.

Urgh! Thats evil! 5/10

it looks pretty :) 7

the materials are cool! but the windows don't...

Interesting, but too boxy and ugly. 6/10

Bad at day but awesome at night. 7.5/10

7/10

At night it looks very good, and it is very convenient if i can't find my way home after a long night in the city.....I live next to westpoint.. 8/10

--->7.5/10<---

Quite boring block but really tall, and it looks interesting at night ;) 7/10

EDIT: T'was 7.5/10

7/10.

5/10

The tower itself is borderline hideous. In the sober Netherlands I am amazed that a provincial city would ever aprove a building so incredibly dominating in its impact on the skyline. Even more so when the design is far from attractive.

4 for look, 10 for dominance of its suroundings. Quite surreal for this small city.

7/10

Come on, we aren't in the 80's anymore! 5/10...

It looks much older than 2004. More something like 1984.
What were they thinking with those colours?
Nonetheless a huge, impressive residential.

5.5/10

The colors look nice from close, but from further away, it looks only grey.The sheer
height (48 floors is the tallest number in the Netherlands) only makes me rate it at 6/10

I have seen it in real and it really doesnt fit in this city.
its slim and tall thats the only positive thing about it
the design is really ugly 5.5/10

the lights at night are nice but the design is terrible 7/10

^^ It is not a good sign when a tower looks better in the dark.. :)

A very nice tower and HIGH tower, a 9.

6/10

Great tower... 9/10

< 3.5 this is by far the ugliest (tall) builing in NL!

Impressive height, but the design en the coloured lights at night are awful..
