It's frustrating because the 17th st side is very visible and looks particularly bad and cheap. The 16ths st side at least has some depth. I'm glad to have it and I hope it grows on me, but I hate the materials. The original design of red on the side of the brick neighbor and gray in the side of the church neighbor already did respond to the surroundings so idk what they're talking about. The surrounding context is primarily tan (which they used in Athe Laurel), brown, and red, not gray, except for the church. At least it's not in a more visible location
I do hope they stick around and keep investing in Philly since they've gotten so much done, but I find the changes disappointing. I'd also just like less gray in a city with such a colorful palette. I think we've gotten enough
