Reply With QuoteI completely agree. Windows with grids transform a suburban house from drab to nice. If all of the white brick buildings in the city added windows with black frames and black grids, they'd look much better.
Windows make a big difference.

Nice. The mullions make this project.
It's surprising how well this one turned out, especially compared to the trashy/glassy early designs. The half balconies look a lot less obnoxious than full balconies. The casement windows look good. There's an actual cornice. It looks like laid brick, in a color in the neighborhood palette. The irregular penthouse on top, especially the big, bold window, makes it a little interesting, and the glass balconies a little less intrusive.
The chamfer makes the street corner much more pleasant, too. Great work, actually.

Not much of a view, but a nice building.
They could have done a better job with the penthouse, but there was an existing bulkhead up there. The original cast-iron streetfront is intact, although severely altered over the years.
The developer is calling it the Spice Warehouse.
