Another Facade...

[arkinet]

Hi Guys... newbie here & 1st time poster. Been able to encouraged my boss to get a copy of sU so here I am.

This is a renovation project, located in Tucson,AZ and the owner wants something fancy and colorful up front since it is located besides a major road but crappy neighborhood. Its an existing masonry building with the front oriented south.

My quick study playing with colors and forms a lil bit before the contractor can shoot it down.

C&cs are welcome.

It seems a little too busy to me, i like the red corner and the green arch pieces, but the other forms seem a bit overpowering. This is only a frame of reference, which could change depending on the store type. If it were a daycare, or something to do with children, or modern art, I think the facade you have would be more appropriate.

EDIT:
Somthing I like something more simple but still colorful.

<since I don't have any brief except that the owner wants something fancy & colorful, I have to agree with your design.
<The only part distracting IMHO is the "pylon" with kaleidoscope patern.
