Hello forumers.

A few years back I followed a project on here about a new residential area and shoppign centre based around a series of smart, brick towers. Each one had a different coloured light crown on the top.

I cannot remember where they were or what they were called and I want to use them at work to illustrate high quality, simple modern brick residential towers

Could you help me out?

Also if you can think of any other simple residential towers in the area - regular windows, less crazy modern styles. that would be helpful

The only thing that comes to my mind is the Ypenburg suburb in The Hague:

what do you think of them? I spot the word 'shit' there?
I think they are a bit boring, but they wont go out of fashion. I approve of them.

They're in a suburb where I never venture so I'm alright with them :D

They're... inconspicuous.

Yes, that was the reason. I apologize for my language ;). I don´t have any problems with this kind of architecture. On the contrary, I think it´s one of the better projects that I have seen from Ypenburg. Which, to be honest, is not a very high quality area.
