A nice one! Like that curvy facade...
It´s a shame though that it overshadows that nice little pagoda-tower next to it (visible in the 3rd pic)

Handsome, and blessedly restrained so we will not tire of it quickly. I think it looks
smashing in its setting and give it a 9!! Well done!!

what a great surprise,,,, always an architectural work must be judge also because of how it fits in the surrounding areas, and this tower fits perfectly.

Also I like how the diferent textures in the front facade, create a volumetric sensation.

So i'll give it a 9.5, could be a 10 if had more height....
