Those are fair looking towers.

I give them a 7.

DrumCorpsAlum · February 22nd, 2003, 09:20 PM

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.

Wu-Gambino · February 23rd, 2003, 07:58 AM

Very nice. 7

mookiecece · February 23rd, 2003, 10:12 AM

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

looks pretty cool huh? This won't happen again once the buildings are occupied.

more pics by efesese

one more pic

renell · February 23rd, 2003, 11:22 AM

not much interesting there but not bad either 7

ryanr · February 23rd, 2003, 02:26 PM

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

8/10

The Messiah · February 23rd, 2003, 05:25 PM

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

RafflesCity · February 24th, 2003, 10:08 AM

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.

Dissapointing design for towers of such height and prominance.

SUNNI · February 27th, 2003, 09:22 AM

amongst the best of the residential towers.9/10

Cliff · March 2nd, 2003, 02:22 PM

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

Liz L · March 5th, 2003, 08:27 PM

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...

London™ · March 9th, 2003, 05:21 PM

10/10 looks perfect for me

Yes I have a biased view.

London™ · March 9th, 2003, 05:22 PM

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

New Jack City · March 11th, 2003, 01:41 AM

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.

March 11th, 2003, 11:27 PM

impressive residential towers. they are so tall!

8/10

SteelCity32 · March 14th, 2003, 03:04 AM
