May 27, 20214 yr Clean it. That's all it needs. I don't expect many to appreciate its style from a beauty standpoint, but we shouldn't make the same mistakes that previous generations made when covering buildings up and "modernizing" them when the architecture fell out of style. Not saying this is some great architectural work, but make it its best version of itself and let it be what it is.

Not saying this is some great architectural work, but make it its best version of itself and let it be what it is. Agreed that a good cleaning is in order. I’m not sure when the windows will need to get replaced, but I think (hope?) improved glazing could drastically improve the building’s appearance. I’m not sure exactly what is wrong with the current glazing, but it looks very dated to me.
May 28, 20214 yr Probably a combination of cheap glazing that has been poorly maintained and is past its lifespan. Agreed that in conjunction with a good cleaning, new windows would help make the building feel a lot nicer and back to its original appearance which I wouldn't personally be mad about.

I wholeheartedly agree with you but painting or mural-ing a building doesn't compare to what you are talking about. Thinking "The Chong" vs. Artworks or the erstwhile "Urban Walls" from the 1960s as a comparison. It's a little harebrained, I admit, and cleaning+windows is really all it needs.
May 29, 20214 yr If I were to work with the One Lytle folks, these would be my recommendations: Warm up the building and increase occupant well-being with more organic materials. Update the windows to a triple pane glass with copper tone mullions. Update the metal railing to glass, wood, or copper tone metal. Refinish the balcony ceilings (and floors) in a wood or copper tone metal panel. Re-ornament the building without compromising its international/brutalist tendencies with LED lights and a new One Lytle sign on the core. Clean the concrete to get a brilliant shine. Be extra and selectively clean to create a visual abstraction, pattern, or image. Re-contextualize Completely rethink the connection to Lytle Park to emphasize pedestrian experience
