I think I'm probably very much in the minority on here. It wouldn't do for us all to be the same I suppose but I really don''t get it. I've been consistent in not liking it. When the first bit of classing went on the tower element- which was completely different to the renders which suggested a warm, light copper finish - I had misgivings but thought I'd wait until it finished. But as it has risen I've just disliked it more and more.
If it was just the tower that would be bad enough but the way the black brick and red cladding podium interacts with the Churchill Way and Charles Street elevations is really poor. I think the architects/developers have shit the bed on this one.
That being said I can appreciate that others may feel differently. I just hope that high rise student resi hits the skids and we avoid any more towers like this....
