Re: Twenty Two Liberty @ Fan Pier | 22 Liberty Drive | Seaport
^ You made me go watch a bunch of them and I too am now sold on a unit here! They make a wonderful point that those views can hardly be topped, AND they're pretty much permanent views. Now to stop being such a lazy underachiever...

Anyway, going through the videos I couldn't help but roll my eyes at all the pretty renderings showing the building as yet another glossy, lighter-than-air confection when they NEVER end up looking like that. EVERY rendering looks like that and just about ZERO buildings end up looking anywhere near as silvery and weightless.
So I went ahead and basically darkened down the building in the hopes of a) giving the structure visual heft, and b) making it easier to see just what the materials and what the facade will actually look like.
Maybe this was a waste of time, maybe someone will see some value in them...I dunno.
So basically it'll look a lot like the Envoy Hotel with lots of glass backed by green-ish panels
And like most projects these days with bare bones designs, if they cheap out on the materials then this thing will look really weaksauce
