Yeah, I really like that too. Not a fan of their other building though. Looks like a juice box someone stepped on.

I like SPF, don't like S+P, actually quite like Allied Work's treatment of the original King Eddy but the instrument building concept seems a bit too novelty-ish. I like that Nouvel gives us a tower (with the same budget as everyone else), but why not put the tower on the other block instead of directly on top of the King Eddy? The tower dominates the original facade, they're not balanced at all the way they would need to be to make something like this work. Almost might as well knock it down if they go that route.
