congratulations…it looks super
I like the sense of irony of the project. It is quite literally ‘alien’ architecture.
Boldly going where no man with good taste has every gone before.
Impressive & delightful. Considering all of the gymnastics that clients and architects are currently going through to design something different this is quite refreshing.
What fun and it is very pleasing to the eye.
Congratulations!
Seriously ?
I’ve to admit that location and facilities looks nice for an office but the building itself just looks like an old-fashioned mid-70’s airport. Where are the boarding doors ? 🙂
Architect must have been a Janeway fan. Looks more like Voyager, to me.
What a fabulous design! This building will never age nor tire the eyes of those who will take a look at it. Many words will destroy, so I have kept it very brief.
