I agree. This building has a subtle beauty about it. The fluted facade, the curves of the walls, the classy materials make it a great addition—both classical and modern. I like it a lot.
Yes, the architectural design is super fine. However, another great feature will be found by looking from the inside out: those large ‘single pane’ windows are an awesome feature for apartments.
The double hung, and multi-pane windows are what the vast majority of residential buildings have; so when people see the single pane (mullion less) windows they are often quite surprised how nice that ‘unobstructed’ view-thru looks.
Great architecture, fantastic windows: this one will sell well.

I’ve noted that you’ve used single pane windows to describe windows with no divisory mullions or muntins, but this implies that the window is a single pane/layer of glass when most windows are double or triple paned nowadays. Even windows with muntins are double paned.
I’m sure there is a better or more correct term to use than saying single paned to describe a window that is not divided into multiple segments, because pane refers to the number of layers and not necessarily how many divisions there are.
Maybe just uninterrupted windows.
I was thinking to use the term “picture window”. Hopefully, the posted photo helped a bit with making the point clear along with my description of the ‘uninterrupted’ windows.
I had this a link regarding the terminology for window types. I was not sure which to choose: so many different terms - what a pain.
Full pane?
