When other buildings gets compared to one single building, this building ought to be a class of its own. Well this is one of it. An 8/10.

Nice, the fact that it's residential makes it more interesting.

I really don't know.. One moment I like this scraper one moment I hate it.. Kinda like a love-hate relationship i guess..

Anyways, I find the tapered shape of the building very unique.. Together with the X braces and black looking cladding it's got even more character..

It's one of it's kind in the world.. Very orginal looking

9/10

I had to give it a 10. Here are my photos of the tower:

9/10...One of, if not the best black building in the world. I love the X design going through the building, the sun shines on it nice sometimes too. I took points off because of the antennas, red and white antennas for a black skyscraper? Not working.

they're not red & white anymore

Although many people I've talked to miss the old red & white antennae... very distinctive. Red, white & black go together well enough, I think. Those where the colors of the old German Reich flag, for one..

Simple, black, classic.
