Stop saying that it looks like Zaha Hadid's Galaxy Soho, because it does not! Even the Absolute Towers look more like that (the oval floors, but that's it!) This one is so different and I totally agree with Novalinnhe. It fits! It's one with the landscape! I love it. I hope the materials of the facades will be appropriate and well-done. Oh my God!

When I saw the preview for this in the sidebar I nearly choked on what I was eating. High-rise structures almost never work within such "natural" contexts - but these are perhaps as seamless to the surrounding environment as a man-made structure can get. It's as though the complex is simply a continuation of the undulating mountain landscape you can see behind it. Like they got some tracing paper, drew the rough shapes of the mountain in the background, and began building from there. It's extremely modern, but really sympathetic to the context and soooo gorgeous! Huge fan as you can tell! c: I seem to be in the minority, but I think these are absolutely beautiful!
