Ive mostly had a good impression of 1900 Arch design, but now that its all put together, Im a bit concerned for the contemporary checkered pattern.
That motif is being used everywhere now, and usually I like it and think it will date the buildings to this era, but not necessarily look 'dated.' On this application, however, It looks like a poorly executed after-thought, while it didnt in the renderings. The areas with that pattern are large rectangular blocks, and could just be painted a flat color to make the building look like any generic, 60s-80's, blah, mid-rise. Also, the colors are 90's-beige hues, making it already looks dated a bit, and worse, making the checkered pattern design in genereal (on all buildings) seem like a much older design concept.
Sorry for the rant, but I was just suprised how much the finished product erked me.
