Courtyard 33 | 21.64m | 6s | RNDSQR | 5468796 Architecture

We'll see how it turns out. At this point i think the corrugated metal adds a cool texture, but I think with the black sections of EIFS or stucco, the contrast between light corrugated metal and dark stucco is really stark. I personally think the black sections would look better painted as a relative colour match to the corrugated metal, that way it is a textural element only and wouldn't have such a strong contrast which would make it more jarring and polarizing IMO. It would feel more like some of renders if they went that route.

Either way I will reserve my judgement for later, but that is what I am seeing at this point.

They should have used whatever they put on dominion.

Dominion used composite metal cladding, the design of it looked great but it's a pretty standard cladding material.

This looks like a giant garbage can, but almost in a good way

Will the courtyard have any trees? Some greenery could really help make it less dominating

Nope not good. Sorry, but this is a failure for Rndsq. I like they are trying different things but I find that I end up hating most of what they do. They need to be more like Bucci and the Dominion project.

I actually don't mind it, definitely not as good as I was hoping for but not terrible. Solid 7/10 for me.

A far cry from the front page renderings. Inglewood beware......

I feel like RNDSQR Block will look more similar to what we've been presented. We knew from that start that the renders looked over promising for this guy. For a while none of us even knew what the exterior cladding was going to be.

But still, fingers crossed.

Nope. That’s the problem. Numbered company and rndsqr didn’t even know what the material was going to be and just sold it. At DP, material specificity would give us an idea. This was probably an acceptable alt in the specs or negotiated with the City. And for anyone asking about about trees in the courtyard....I’m not sure.
