looks pretty cool at night. but from ground level, it might seem boring because u don't really notice the green lighting above^6.5/10

3 and below...Awful, maybe the worst complex I've seen. Everything is so bunched up, there's no breathing room, the tower themselves are awful looking, and it looks as if they are about to fall on top of each other in the skyline.

4.5/10

For something thats 30 storeys, its too blocky and makes the complex look like a cancerous growth. It couldve been much better.

It isn't bad in person, and it matter what angle you are looking at.

3.5. Interesting concept, bad execution. Looks like one of the LMDC nine-pack proposals.

White things ruin the building. Could be perfect with different facade. 6

Well, it's an interesting concept, but I think there are too many individual towers, and they are bunched too close to each other. It would have been better with 3 or 4 taller towers, rather than lots of shorter ones like that.

7/10 overall.

Everybody is harsh - at least this building tries, and manages, to be original. 8.0

Love the night shots, they've managed to be quite creative with this building to counter-act the paltry height limit.

During the day it's not bad too, but the squat stance kind of ruins things slightly.
