BigFootsSocks Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm very srs rite now; did Randall have a seizure when designing this thing and all his employees just went with it because they're used to his style now? Still trying to figure out the window pattern 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EllenOlenska Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hey, architects & engineers! Why not put a reflective glass of similar hue over the panels? Problem solved? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rechlin Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 That's what they did on the Marriott Marquis. Windows cover less than 1/3 of the western façade of the tower (probably the other sides, too, but that's the only side I have a good look at), with the rest just bare concrete, but they put glass over it so it looks like a glass curtain wall unless you look closely. Look closely at this: 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KinkaidAlum Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I don't think we're looking at the same pictures. This already looks dated and drab and it isn't even open yet. That bathroom is simply a hot mess with the mixture of colors and materials, and no, the black Hollywood glam chandelier isn't still in style. The kitchen looks like apartment grade garbage from 10 years ago. HANOVER's rental properties are so much fresher and clean than this. I guess since most of the buyers in these properties won't ever live in them it doesn't really matter. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arebella is 70% sold and Randy's giving every real estate agent who sells the remaining units a Telsa Model 3. I'm sure he could have found a different solution regarding the HVAC issue. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Twitter1 Posted June 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2017 (edited) Came back from Denver, CO yesterday. So lucky to get these inflight shots of Arabella! You have a good view of Uptown from this shot as well Night shot. Pilot flew us in a circle upon landing due to weather. River Oaks District is bright!
