I can appreciate this style in the right circumstances particularly if the local natural environment supports the building's scale and exterior cladding.  A GoogleEarth street view shows the building under construction but also what vegetation was previously present.  I bet there once was a gorgeous well proportioned home (typical of the old Point Grey neighbourhood) that was sent to the landfill.  Sustainable housing? While, some people may like this building for its uniqueness, it still appears to me as pretentious, institutional, and isolationist.
