597 buena vista west

It’s not just the open windows, but the alternating square forms in that ratio. A plain floor to ceiling window would be much different. The dividers are doing something. And the blinds open down. Which makes so much more sense, because our heads can peer outside while our bodies, which may be undressed, are hidden. Some people, of course, would rather keep their heads anonymous. I would rather hide my activity.

The slight protrusion gives the impression also of extending into the sidewalk.

It’s funny because in real life it is beautiful, my photo is quite bad, but the redfin photo makes it look like a cheap ski resort motel.
