Marvelous!, Cristal-like facade and shape just looks totally aggressively gorgeous!, The reflection seems endless-even-herizon. The Spire is surprisingly well-positioned and creates one of the most magnificant architectural detail!.......I will never forget this building...:)...10/10

nice 8/10

9/10 - It's great, could have been taller, but Molde is to small for that.

The building seems to be a little out of place, but it is a nice small tower. 7/10

The reflective glass makes it look cheap, the spire looks like an afterthought and the buildings itself looks very fat when viewed from behind/front. It's a nice placement though.
