The Bon | 1260 Boylston Street | Fenway

I actually like the façade on both sides. I think both use nice to ways to add texture.

Looking at these windows undulating in and out makes me feel kind of seasick. Anyone else have a similar reaction?

Maybe some passers-by will feel the same when it's done and it will become known as the Seasick Building.

I see them as LEGOs that need to be pushed in all the way.

To me they look like ocean waves, which I guess explains the seasick sensation.

It's reigniting my 20+ year PTSD.

I hope someone was able to go through and close all of those casement windows before the blizzard struck.

Copper can be such a great facade material.

That street wall is lit, fam.

 

[Cortes]

Please pardon me. I understand why the curtain wall on the bottom two floors is left for last...but puzzle me this: why would you leave it exposed to the elements when 2 feet of blowing snow was forecast a week in advance? I can guarantee that the newly installed HVAC cost more than tarp and some staples and screws.

This building is disorienting. It exudes confusion and discord. It is in total disagreement with itself.

How many different scales are represented on its facade?

It's following in the grand local tradition that Elkus Manfredi started like 15 years ago of "why have one shitty facade when you could have four?"

 

[kz1000ps]

I mean.... I'm trying my best to give the Boylston facade a chance but I think I kinda hate it.

Nice framing on that last shot.

 

[BACsop]

Weirdly I don't mind the facade that much on this.
