This is indeed heavy and dark and the detailing/harmony of materials could be a bit refined in my taste. It's easy to lend criticism but I really would like to see interiors of the units themselves or at least enlarged plans to get a sense of the quality of the spaces. @duongbong: funny that your comment is the first because I was thinking not about how the architecture in this case affects how people "walk" but rather how people respond on a psychological level.

Clumsy (structure and windows frames), poorly detailed (see balustrades), unusable space (see the corners in the bedrooms). Whilst its great to see people exploring all avenues of design, surely this is just a badly resolved pastiche of angular architecture. If we take it back to first principles this building fails on some many levels, as it is a poor place to live. I'm not really sure what it's doing on this website, which is usually quite critical about which projects it choses to publish. Not sure where to start?
