SLCE is finally developing creativity?
There’s no façade yet so there’s still time to dissapoint.
I will say kudos though if it turns out like the rendering. The cor-ten or whatever that is looks good and bravo for following the curve of the street. That was commonplace pre-war but nine times out of ten these days to save money the front elevation is just straight and totally disregards the street curvature as well as the neighboring pre-war buildings that do follow the curve. There’s a particularly bad example of this going up on Featherbed Ln right now. I think its a Badaly nightmare.
FYI – Google the address for more renderings and plans.
The original plan was for the Rocky Mount Baptist Church to be located on the ground floor of the building. Unsure of whether that is still the plan.
