The masses, as defined by the master plan, form the U-shaped cross section with the mass of garage, and form a united whole. “Add-on” balconies dynamize the composition and represent a spatial extension of the mass. The reflection in folded balcony surfaces provides visual alternations to the structures appearance, depending on the time of the day and weather conditions.

At the same time, different shapes of balconies signify and creates unique appearance of the single balcony, identifying particular apartment.

At first I thought this was a 3D rendering.
Sadly, it is a real building.
I find it MONSTEROUS.

The used of metal in the balconies is a dimostretion of the material’s knowledge of the planner…it’s very good the mutable condition of the complex visual defined by the light exposition…

Only showing the outside is meaningless when it comes to architecture. Don’t publish this kind of rubbish.

    No necessarily…been there doing that. If anything, we (the whiners) are so tired of working on projects where the only thing that seems to matter any longer is a skin job. I think the whiners have a right to whine about the direction of the discourse.

    What reality are YOU talking about? This building is so mundane and boring I think it is safe to say that most practicing can do much better than this project. The banality kills me.

Yikes – this looks like a Kafka-esque complex where you never get your bearings and snipers lay in wait. Imagine when it rains how the water will flow. I have a feeling its not pretty for more than a few of the occupants.
