Ha. Saw, you might well (if not surely) be right... I still find its current look sort of cheesy and think the white panels, added as a 2nd skin in such a case, would definitely be an improvement.
I often feel harsh at that period anyways. Chartis was completed in 1967.
There's that other building, Atlantique, of the same height and era (1970) right across the esplanade.

And those 2 black outlines that look cool in the skyline seen from a distance, but in close up...
