I quite like the towers (especially the colour), but the podium on which they stand could be improved. There needs to be more space between the towers and the road I think. Maybe some sort of park/square or green space would help.

only because of the facade..otherwise theyre quite boring

unals March 17th, 2005, 08:18 AM 8/10... I wish they made them twice as tall, it would look much much better. :(

Whatever, the lights are amaaaaaaazing! It seems like Istanbul focuses more and more on light shows. I love that!
SoboleuS April 2nd, 2005, 09:40 AM Towers 2 and 3 look like giant barrels ;) but Tower 1 is quite nice. Generally I don't like blue glass, but this complex is not bad. 7/10

reinhart87 February 27th, 2006, 03:52 AM 8/10
this building proofs that a great structure does not have to be tall at all.. as long as it blends with its surrounding and have characters.. it's guaranteed it will be a great structure

omercank March 14th, 2007, 05:58 PM I like the complex on the whole, however the towers could have been a little taller. I think having a 35 and two 30 storey towers would have looked much better...
