The residents obviously aren't impressed either... The architect has completely ignored the resident's desires for identity and ownership of space; the result is a hundred potted plants in a vain attempt to define the properties entrances. It's very disappointing when architects prioritise their 'fashionable' imagery over basic human nature, in my opinion. Other than that, the project seems quite nice.

The play of geometry to create different spaces for different appartement is impressive. Also the open spaces between appartements to allow light and cross ventilation are great.
