The first time I saw the renderings I liked them; now all I can see is this: http://s355.photobucket.com/albums/r479/joke_haif/?action=view&current=modbldg.jpg And I agree with #1 - the Pipe Wrench IS a great name.

But speaking of the executive patio rather than the pedestal roof, the occupant comfort problem is not straight-line winds so much as pressure buffets (so those little screens won't do much that matters), so I doubt people will use it enough that they'll notice when the view changes. It is, after all, a leasing prop, not a human environment. I took a class on green roof stuff a few years ago and went out on a number of them.

I have these thoughts: - I wish downtown traffic moved that quickly. - the lobby looks sterile and narrow. - the pipe wrench's (great name, Gus) executive patio eastern view will really suck after someone builds another building behind this one. - can the interior be any less inviting? The office hallways look narrow or is it just the video? After watching the video (and enduring that soundtrack!) I have these thoughts:
