Yikes.
Wow scary !
WHY?
JUST… WHY?
This is so bad I’ve got to come back 30 minutes later to reiterate my dismay. How is a disaster like this even allowed. Does this qualify as architecture? Fair question.
So many questions…
Why set back?
Seriously, why set back?
Why hideous styrofoam stucco painted hideous uncomplimentary colors?
Why the tiny weird windows?
Why does the person who put this little number together has a license to practice architecture?
Why is there no oath in the field of architecture to “do no harm” like there is in medicine?
Why does a developer care so little that they would put their name on something this ridiculous?
A good kick can dent stucco on foam which is why it is often not used on the street level. I suspect the setback and the fence is to prevent this.
I really don’t think the EIFS facade spec has any relationship to the reason it’s set back off the lot line. But I agree EIFS is crap.
Put this out in the middle of a huge field and it’s almost sculptural. But in the middle of the Bronx, it looks just dropped in and dystopian.
But the bathroom ceramic slabs are worse, and this current “design” fad is already looking horribly dated.

I didn’t realize that first graders can become architects? I’m assuming he received
a “GOLD STAR” from the teacher, when she posted his drawing of this on the wall?
Oops… forgot to add…
I guess BARS on the windows would have blown the budget?
How do you replace burnt-out light bulbs? And why do the architects think it’s a good idea to put microwave ovens above the stove? Are there fire escapes in the rear? No escape from box buildings.
I got claustrophobia just looking at it.
