Yes, it’s turning out OK. I believe part of its success is that it is only ~7 stories high… the scale remains human-relatable. “Goldilocks zone.”

Good point.
The “no grid” windows in the photos are what I was describing: but used the wrong term. I hope most folks did get the idea: those windows that are ‘all glass’ with no dividing mullions/frames at all - for a nice unobstructed view-out effect. Some are ‘double lite’ but it is the windows that have no obstruction that I wanted to point-out: very surprising how much better they are for the view. Maybe ‘picture window’ is better.
I have noticed around town some prewar buildings are swapping out the old gridded “multi-lite” windows and replacing with this “no-grid” window - it is a big selling point for many condo buyers…
I see the AI overview calls them “no-grid” windows -
AI Overview
Windows without grids, also known as no-grid windows, can be a good choice for contemporary designs because they create a modern look and unobstructed views. When deciding whether to use grids or not, you can consider things like:
- Architectural style: Grid windows are often associated with traditional and historical styles, while no-grid windows are better suited for contemporary designs.
- Personal preferences: Your personal preferences can also play a role in the decision.
- Practical considerations: You can also consider things like energy efficiency, maintenance, and cost.
Speaking of double pane and triple pane windows: I found a good video on that feature of windows. Enjoy.
