Love the green roof (although actual plants save more energy than solar panels produce by saving in heating and cooling costs for a building of this height). Only problem is the parking. Only 29 spots for retail, and 60+ apartments. That's reason for concern.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-82471839845481382432010-05-27T17:10:51.433-04:002010-05-27T17:10:51.433-04:00Architecturally speaking, this design is much bett...Architecturally speaking, this design is much better than what Lance Bailey Architects did for the new Senior Citizens Residence building going up at Georgia and Newton.<br /><br />I second the call for a Trader Joe's!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-5492915602950713802010-05-27T13:36:18.915-04:002010-05-27T13:36:18.915-04:00I love the project but not the design.

Pull out a cornice and increase the depth of the facade elements so they don't look so plasterd on. It could have been another glass or brick box with no articulation whatsoever.
