Not a fan of the colors. Can't really explain why. Just doesn't seem right.
 
Idk why but Im the exact opposite. Especially seeing them in person I absolutely love these. The lightly germanic style influenced roofs, the rowhouse look, the concave-faceted facades, I think they look awesome. They dont really look like anything else other than the companies other projects in somerville and allston. Its hard to do something new, but imo they killed it.

Id lovee to see a lot more of these built all around the city but with different facades especially some in brick. I think around the mass ave melnea cass area where theres tons of space to develop and where the south end brick rowhouses suddenly drop off Id love to see some brick versions put up over there to fill in the area.
 
I love the color (always a matter of personal taste), and especially the siding and the angularity of the facades. Refreshing, urban, European, and projecting into the future.
 
The reds and yellows really help in the grey Boston winter. It's why Beacon Hill and the South End still feel inviting on a cold February afternoon, whereas parts of Southie and Dorchester look hopelessly bleak.
