The design by bKL Architecture in collaboration with Harken Interiors and Sterling Bay Design Studio features a rectangular massing divided into two staggered volumes. The exterior is composed of floor-to-ceiling windows, red metallic panels, and dark metal beams. The southern section of the tower extends beyond the podium, supported by Y-shaped columns. Mural artist Emmy Star Brown is behind a mural art piece along the underside, while the art along the north wall is by Kate Lewis.

In a fortunately unfortunate turn of events…the podium looks better than the tower. Wow!
I knew that ceiling art thing was going to be a letdown.
The original showed some ‘all over the place’ chaotic energy, but was fun and representative of the area. The end result looks like it could be on par with wall paper.
more mediocrity in the west loop
Because you’ve produced better.
The only thing I like about this tower is the density and retail. The podium and the upper portion do not mix at all and it really looks strange. Perhaps as more high rises get built in the area it will look less out of place.
Wow! The elevations of this building are impressive and in keeping with the general FM vibe. The developers did an amazing job with this one!
The mural underneath sucksssss ugh come on
