A glass building?

post #1 of 10

Intriguing project. Not sure who, these days, would want to be the guinea pig for this and be the first to buy an apartment in a glass brick building.

Would be fun to have an office in there, but I would not want to live in it.

What good is it if you can't see throught the walls and floors, all the time? Useless.

Not enough privacy?

Useless.
Too much privacy?

It's hideous.

Says one committee member, "I find it rather 2007 for the current era." What a tool. I quite like it, but not necessarily in that location. Then again, it's going to stand out anywhere.

I think his point would be fair if the building was delivered right now - a bit of a bling anachronism in the current economic malaise. Howver, it's far from being built and delivered and, by that time, things might be back to partying like it's 2007...

glass brick has potential. You know those douchey people who live near the beach and want to maximize their window space? They would buy it to build their wall out of.

I would throw stones, though I've been told that I shouldn't.

That is truly awful.
