Those are fair looking towers. ;)

I give them a 7.

I like, but they don't seem too terribly original. Seems like I see a lot of Asian buildings with a similar design. 7.5/10.

Very nice. 7

I think its interesting looking, has many angles and very tall despite being residential.... it's Seoul's current tallest but soon it will be overtaken by tower palace III tower. 9/10 <-- a little bit biased here

and some night pics taken by efesese, all 3 towers lit up completely

not much interesting there but not bad either 7

Fine looking towers...I like em'! but as Drums said, lacks originality, a lot of other buildings in Asia have similar designs.

8/10

It looks ok but there are 3 of them and all of them are the same and i don't like that so it's a 7.5/10

7.5/10

The height is impressive, the design is ok, but the winged appearance is not bad. Its good that the height is staggered amongst the 3 towers, if not it would look too monotonous.

6

Dissapointing design for towers of such height and prominance.

amongst the best of the residential towers.9/10

Simple, elegant, but bland.
A tower that demands respect and admiration. It gets respect, but not the admiration.

It needs darker colours more a more luxurious look, green glass, bad choice.

8/10

6.5/10 - I really like the basic shape - angles to spare, and a lot livlier than a box. It was also a good idea not to have them all the same height.

HOWEVER...
The facade is bland - it needs some nice, shiney metal, or more glass, or something...

It also looks like the architects' imagination (or funding?) ran out right before they designed the roofs...

10/10 looks perfect for me:D Yes I have a biased view. :hm:

Now it's the #30 best skyscraper in the world so far ;)

4/10.. Nothing special, it looks untasteful. The towers are trying to hard to be good, that they failed. They could have done better with the height.

impressive residential towers. they are so tall!

8/10

Interesting, tall

huh??
do better with the height??
its like 256m tall!
:)

6 Pretty bland buildings

They look too much like elevator shafts.

The greenish glass windows goes well with the rest of the facade.. It's got the clean look in good light :) The shape of the towers looks interesting.. I like...

8.5/10

7.5/10 Bright and shiny which is good since they are residential. But lack of defferintiation in the 3 gave it a low score for me.

they look awesome at night! 8

They look quite good together, 7.5/10

They're quite interesting towers, but I'm not that keen on their shape.

8 cool

10/10 i like it and thats what it counts:)

Quite good

great at night but a little boring in the morning

With that size they could have done a lot more with the appearance. Why oh why..

Sorry, but it's 6/10 from me

its appearance is so boring to be so tall

6/10

5.5/10 ! :)

nice, but nothing special

6.5/10

8/10
Nice good looking glass towers.

These buildings need a crown - cone or pyramid - to make it more impressive(taller as a bonus). 7.5/10

the renderings looked much more better...still, it's not bad.

7.5

8/10 I like his front and the color, the complex is very nice

6.5/10

A really nice set of Residentials. Like the height and the shape, although not terribly exciting. Same for the color scheme/facade. The crown isnt too bad, nice and simple, but works well with the reset of the building. Staggered heights also a plus.

Wow

not the kind of tower i prefer! 4

Looks cool to me day and night. 8/10

4.5/10

Instantly forgettable.

There are millions of buildings all around the world which (although shorter) look identical to this.

Very elegant and beautiful, and the design fits in nice with Seoul. I give it an 8.5/10. :okay:

8.8

7,5/10

Poor design, 6

A bit boring 7

Somehow the facade doesn't work. I think it's because of the green glass. Untasty.
It basically looks like a high density block. Not nice. The crown looks stupid. Impressive height, though.
3.5

6/10 Blandness made worse by multiple of 3.

The facade is good, shape is practical for a residential since it offers lots of corner units. Also the height is good.. still I think it's a bit bland. Can't vote

6.5/10

I Think Its 7.5.....Ordinary design Of A building,But Hey,I Saw That And its Tall!

These bland, unoriginal, forgettable towers have no place in the Top 100 list.

I think the buildings are pretty nice.

6/10 pretty common asian residential, nothing exciting except height.

9. nice.

The buildings are OK but the roof ...

6 / 10

What I like about this building that some of you might not know, its built on top of a department store, and I think it's pretty amazing that the department store and its parking lots are holding those gigantic three towers.
The skyline of that area is also amazing. Actually checking the area out and those apartment towers is so much better than just looking at the pictures(personal thought, it was amazing when I went there).

Bleh. I expect much more out of a top100. 6.0/10

They're very bland, but not bad.

It's a tall one but lacks originality. The night pic of the first page is pretty beautiful, so a well deserved 8/10.

that neighbourhood is pretty crazy...so many high buildings and apartments when i last went there...
