Patisserie 46
By IDS2 in Commercial
If you spend enough time traveling around Minneapolis, you'll start to see buildings that look a lot like this all over the place. Most of them are from the 1920s and used to be corner stores. You can typically spot them by their decorative brickwork, which...352 Downloads

One Sherman Place
By IDS2 in Commercial
All killer no filler? More like all filler no killer. Based on a real building at 140 East 19th Street in Denver, Colorado, it's not exactly a landmark, but something about it still caught my eye. I also wanted to squeeze a little extra mileage out of the...378 Downloads

TriTech Center
By IDS2 in Commercial
Built in 1982, it's a nice filler building, so it has that going for it. I messed with the scaling a little bit to make it a W2W, so it's a bit slimmer than its RL counterpart. Fun fact: it's located immediately next door to another BAT of mine. This is a 4x1...618 Downloads

Located near (but not actually on) Bren Road, this generic late 70s office building can be found just off of highway 62 west of Minneapolis. A friend of mine used to work in its twin, which was torn down a few years ago, and I suspect this one will follow...358 Downloads

POP Building, Brussels
By IDS2 in Commercial
I found a picture of this building on a website aptly named "admirable facades," dedicated to documenting the most admirable facades in Brussels, Belgium. I thought this one, with its bright red geometric facade straight out of 1966, was pretty admirable....468 Downloads

Broadway Ridge Office Plaza
