Franklin Avenue Rising: 377's Gone Yellow
We looked at this development at Franklin and Quincy three months ago before it had its yellow skin on. Interestingly, when this project was first filed back in 2004, the architect of record was Henry Radusky of Bricolage; now it's Michael Even. The design gets some points up front for window size, but there's still plenty of time to botch things up with a bad choice of facade materials and details. We'd rather see a more modern finish than a failed attempt to create a pseudo-historic facade that falls on its face.
