With 2RZ Architecture behind the design, the structure adds a 50-foot contemporary frontage that complements surrounding brick midrises along the Clark Street corridor. The ground floor is clad in a pastel grey brick facade, underneath a variably-textured metal exterior lining the upper three levels. The street-facing side has been punctuated by a recessed terrace and stacked balconies, as well as large sections of loft-style windows.

Just so awkward – the design should be sent back for reconsideration.
