I'm all for interesting architecture and innovation and making a difference but this particular design just seems hostile to its local community with its 70's faceless design and overbearing height. Imposing is one thing but being aesthetically intrusive and ugly is quite another. I'm not suggesting it seeks to blend in with the uninteresting streetscape that lies around it but if it seeks to make a positive impact it shouldn't dwarf what is already there.
I think it merits a full rethink.

Havelock Walk was a success because it successfully and tastefully restored what was already there. This is a bit different.
