Be that as it may the result is not, as you say, elegant. Elegance, denotes a graceful or stylish appearance or an ingenious solution. Which would, in this context, be a result which satisfies not only expresses the underlying form of the structure but also has a result that, in this case, yields a pleasing pedestrian experience.
What you describe, while it may satisfy one aspect of the above, is not an elegant solution based on the commonly accepted meaning of the word "elegant."
