I love that we figured out our own unique “Boston Slanted Roof” look with the slanty-roofs and not only does it look good and differentiate us, but it kind of just happened organically and then architects were like...wait hold on, we have something here. The harbor Garage towers were going to have this too which was going to look great there too. Those wont be going up now but they have a single tower model with a slanty roof that theyre trying to build now that also looks great. The parcels in the back bay over the pike are going slanty roof too haha.
Im all for this new trend. 115 fed wont have it on the main tower, but the shorter part of the tower on the back of the T will have it. Id love to see a new style in the 21st century that is being built on on modern towers that is unique to Boston and an architectural style that when people see it they think of Boston.
The curve of the encore roof line reminds me a bit of what is intended for the One Congress project at Bullfinch crossing.
Skyline wise I am most excited about the One Congress St crown (and hoping that actually happens and hoping it goes a bit taller to stand out further from the residential tower at Bullfinch crossing).
