Cascade Center

While not my cup of tea, these are very nice! For those that need these kinds of buildings, they seem to be an excellent choice. :-)

Thanks, this is an interesting design, nice to see some variation on the typical boxy office :-)

agreed....this is awesome 6/5.....i also like how the building itself has that purple-ish glow at night instead of just the windows lighting up

very similar to an ingame building but I can't remember the name right now...I think it usually pops up as "Boutique." Low density CS$$$, in one of the modern tilesets iirc. If you used that building as a starting point when designing this then bravo, it provided good material to work with. The design and execution are solid, the colours however are quite saturated and could be toned down some. Details, details, details too. The details on this one are quite chunky. Just look at the horizontal bulges on the facade, irl those would stick out like six or seven feet. And on the glass section those metal fins would be comically oversized. That's one thing you need to work on: refining the scale and textures of your work. You've come a long way, don't stop improving your output.

Cool building! Try to make some buildings of the 3M headquarters. There are plenty of interesting labs and offices from the 70s there.

Cool to see the typical office building, but with some flair. This will fit in perfectly and dress up some of my other boxy office buildings. :)

Lostalim, I always enjoy your work and have a number of your buildings in my cities. However if I may criticize (oh no!) the edges of this building look unfinished to me. Shouldn't the corners meet and those edges that meet the glass, shouldn't they be curved or something? I do appreciate all your good work and thank you.

I guess it could? Hey, there has to be a first! Right?

This weird ledge was inspired by an actually building! You could try searching it into Google, but you may never find it; the real building doesn’t have any particular name, I've tried looking. This building isn't as publicize as the Empire State Building.

Thanks for your appreciation and suggestions!!
