That gas substation is a lot of things, but “cute” ain’t it.

Give me some hot glue, googly eyes, and little pom poms and I can see what I can do :grin:

Could it be painted? It is what it is, why not do the support beams in bright red? (other than cost/maintenance) If you can’t hide, might as well make a statement.
It would be cool to cover the skeleton with pin wheels


Here’s some seafoam green Platform porn for y’all.

I’m this close to muting this thread. Sick of seeing this ugly shit. Amazing how they managed to make it look just as shitty in the renderings…Definitely Kane’s worst work in recent years (maybe ever).

This is the spite building for the NIMBYs that killed his tower.

Some developer out there is sitting in his cubicle at work, minding his own business, content with implementing seafoam green into his Platform project, with no idea how many people on some Internet forum hate it.

That poor guy… Lol!

When is see this, I just can’t unsee patched up holes where wall air conditioners used to be. Who on earth thinks this looks good?

On the plus side regarding the gas substation, at least it’s not the gasometer that used to be there once upon a time.

The conversation on the seafoam green is so salty that you just can’t stop consuming it. The building is all that and a bag of (seafoam) chips.
