i’m not sure about the emphasized verticality in the striped colors. I’m imagining myself liking it more with a monochromatic scheme, or maybe a gradient that doesn’t make me think of halloween. But i still love the architecture.

This indeed is an original piece of work. The embracing lace concept seems to have gone well through the design development process to produce something which is not mere repetition but unique for its style.
Much hard work in this. Bravo.

i think architects were brave to go this way.. i think they can see all mistakes they made now..in my opinion the funcional scheme is ok, but facades..are.. irritating..pure neighbours..Colors are nice, but sometimes less is realy better than more.. The volume could be more dynamic, but this building will become a real dominant of a quarter for sure!

Well, it looks like no one is ever going to satisfy everyone with whatever design they produce. The arch-snobs on this and other blogs always comment negatively about projects like this while praising the same Superficiality, poor colors, poor lighting, poor space planning AND poor environmental quality produced by starchitects. All they [starchitects] do is “Design” and make cool forms but the building never ends up functioning properly or they leak or what ever bad consequence results from the design they produce. The comments are often made out of context as well and never merit the project based on it’s setting or the issue they has to deal with.

Agree with Richard Skinner. Design is very original and unique.
I checked the opus of OFIS and I am really impressed and motivated in my work.

Sorry, but all who say this is horrible are blind loosers with no style. This is beautiful piece of architecture, innovative and elegant. Ofis Arhitekti are really tallented designers, they have their own, unique style which is different but great and thats the point!!! Better go praise those postmodern rat-traps and try to study world architecture a bit, JDR, Faux Chinchilla and so on…

funny..eating waffle ends up in wc. This is a good example of where architecture is heading this century. Throw in a bit of pattern & color…that’ll do. At least it’ll brighten up the east blok.

good concept and attractive building result.
I agree with “vision”. Some comments are made or from frustrating architects who are sitting and do nothing or from pompous students like “Rafa” said
