Mona Lisa Residences
Comments
Ground plane failure
The ground floor fails in all attempts to interact with the surroundings. This building is like driving a Chrysler 300C you think it says something special about you - but it doesn't.
Mona Lisa?
Like mona lisa, this is highly overated. Paint a smiley face on it and then cover it up
Looking to express myself
Why is there not a 'really hate' choice...This building says nothing about nobody very well. Please stop
Tower is pleasant; ground level design is subpar
The tower is attractive, with a nice curve and distinctive roofline. The wide facade could have used some more details for additional character beyond the curve, which itself is somewhat trite. The unusual balconies and curve in the narrow side walls make the most of its unusual shape. But the podium is too sterile in design and results in a dead zone around the building, instead of offering something engaging with all the new density. Even the court for cars looks sterile and dead.

More Finch hell
This looks as though it cost 12 cents to build. And the little Band-Aid around the base, how awful. Endless green and blue glass. You'd need your address stamped on your hand to remember where you lived.
