From the inside, the north-facing suites looking out to 6th Ave. embrace the street, rather than try to repel it, as some of the fortress-like frontages of other buildings in the area can do. The glazing lets residents feed off the energy of the streetscape, but remain far enough above it to enjoy the continuous stream of silver SUVs and Smart cars that contrast with the weave of conifers across the street and the mountains in the distance.Ema Peters
