Thanks! It was inspired by the Wrigley Building in Chicago. But mainly because this BAT was originally going to have a diagonal side. I wasn't trying to directly copy the facade. At that point I wasn't good enough at BATing to even think about it. This was a very very early BAT, when I was making BATs by trying random things out until something worked. The massing was going to be a U shape, with a flat roof, but it looked bad. I didn't know how to texture roofs yet, and that massing resulted in a roof that was too big and open for me to cover with roof junk and other features to distract from the bad roof texture. So I solved the problem by switching to the sloped copper roof. But the geometry with the sloped roof and diagonal facade was too complicated for me to figure out, so I changed the massing to a small orthogonal H to accommodate the new roof.

Many thanks for the detailed response. It's interesting; it seems there was some trial and error and problem solving that resulted in a unique building, because I really didn't think of the Wrigley building at all. I really like green copper roofs in simicty for some reason right now lol. This building is nice amongst buildings like your Oakland Tribune building (Maybe my favourite bat ever, I always use it!) 

Really nice building. The added value is the fact that the download provides options for this BAT to become anything users please! CS or RE - thank you for offering this choice!
