I suppose the new condo building at 346 Sackett Street, between Court And Smith Street, could have turned out a lot worse. That is not saying much. As it is, the rather plain, unadorned brick building looks out of context with the neighborhood. The windows could have used a sill and some eyebrows, the steel fence along the roof looks too industrial and the tropical wood cladding on the ground floor façade seems more like an afterthought.
How to make such a new building look just a tad less drab and a teeny bit more interesting? Why, plant bamboo. And lots of it. At least it will hide the first too floors of it, I suppose.
What this building could have used, much more than bamboo, is a cornice. Don't you agree, dear Reader?
