7.5/10

Cool, but the glass and copper make the building look worn out and tired.

The Key Tower is elaborate-lined and sleek. Its futuristic look is what makes it so visually striking...9.5/10

7/10

Kind of unique but looks a little dislocated. The roof looks like it was pressed down harshly on the top.

yup, and it's weird...7.5/10

8.5 This tower looks very cool.First time i see it! :cool:

8.5, it's has a nice chisled design, I like that, and it's definately dominating heading northbound on I-5, although a little less dominating than BofA of course.:) Great building though.

I really like the cross-bracing! 9.0/10

It's looking a little dated now but it's still good. 7/10.

7/10

COol building!! The slanted top is really unique and the facade is great too! The glass blends in well with the rest of the cladding :)

8/10

6.5. The facade really spoilt this tower, and made it looks much more harsh then it should. This is a mismatch for that simple roof, which reminds me of a little doll house. A doll house should have gentler shades..not this one...:)

6/10

Nice, 8/10

7/10 The top dosent really fit the rest of the building.

the top is nice. the rest is boring 6/10

its ok
8/10

7.5/10 :okay: i like it!

6/10 - It isn't a box, and the curved indentations along the corners of the tower make the shape easier to look at.

But it's too chunky to soar, especially with that "bustle" in back and the horizontal bands of windows. Besides, the glass in the windows, and the metal surrounding them, are dark and drab, and that roof does not belong to that building - it looks like it was just slapped on any old way, and it reminds me of a barn!

The concept of the roof-design is very interesting, but the way that concept was shaped is a dissapointment.
And I don't like the horizontal green bands over the facade...... ---> overdone.

5/10

sweet building...i like the top!! 9/10

facade: ok
form: cool
specials: that top is nice
points: 8,5

8.5/10


Great design

yeah, the facade shape doesn't match the roof, but everything else about it is ok.

7/10

the top part gives the building a very special feature that makes it distinguishable from its neighbors...................8.5

The roof ruins the whole thing.
7.0

Nice design and futuristic look !!

9/10

nice building. i like the material. too bad for the roof. looks better without it;)
7/10

I don't like the top 6/10

Nice top. 7.5/10

6.5

It's nice and the top is what makes it interesting but it looks to much like a farm. 6.5/10

5/10

8/10

It ahs the roof of a barn, but I love the base, I am gonna have to say 7/10

Fairly original design.

I like the colours, and the roof.

I'm impressed by the engineering that must have gone into the base.

8/10

I give this building a 7/10

7/10

I like the top, 8.0

7.5/10

Cool, but the glass and copper make the building look worn out and tired.

I agree.

This is my third favorite building in Seattle. I like this one. The roof is cool. The whole building looks like a bio-dome or something.
8.5/10

6.5

Ugly in some pictures, but stunning in others. I love the black steel color though, so I give it a 7.5/10. :okay:

an 8!

6/10

I like the base. 8.

7.5/10.

7/10

The roof is good.The rest of the building is strange.

A bit strange looking but nonetheless definitely deserves 8/10

8/10 UNATURAL

7/10

8/10

Don't like the color but the shape is ok, 7/10

The roof is strange and I don't like it. The rest of the building looks good. 7,5/10

7.5/10

It looks like a certant male body part, that isn't very good in my book 4/10

7.5/10

I love this building. It looks a bit odd but still cool. Its too bad it stands in the shaddow of the B of A tower. I dont think it gets enough credit because the B of A tower is better looking and a lot taller. 8.5

i really like it 9/10

There are some good ideas and interesting materials in this building, it just doesn't turn out very well.
5.5

It looks 10 years older. 4/10

very interesting, unique design
7.5/10

7/10

terrible roof 5/10

3/10
it is all so jumbled - pitched glass roof, geometric setbacks at the top, cross bracing, many ugly colors, tinted windows, industrial details on the bottom
with all the things they tried to jam into this one tower, you could build 5 clean, unique buildings

5,5/10

6/10

nice 8/10

4.5/10

totally screwed up at the top.

8/10 I think that it's a really cool building, from top to bottom, The roof and the way that it works its way down, also the cross braces are interesting to look at from the outisde, but it can probably present some issues on the interior, The base looks really cool too.

:eek:

Very strange shape.

7/10

Fairly original design.

I like the colours, and the roof.

I'm impressed by the engineering that must have gone into the base.

8/10

It's probably not evident from the photos but the base of the building has two reversible entrance/exit ramps that connect to the nearby express lanes of Interstate 5. The architectural layout and structural engineering really is impressive at this base to fit the program into a very tight space.

Fine 8.5/10

No, yeah this roof is already terrible:) who has such a taste?!
