""I have to say the modifications overall made I find to be so subtle to be almost not noticeable, in general, across the entire project," Commissioner Frank Mahan said."
""There's a tower next door that is a similar height, the Metrotech building across the street...it's a very similar height. And the total composition of this is, we feel strongly about it, that it's contextual and fits on this site.""
The Landmarks Preservation Commission rejected the proposed design for a high-rise tower at 182 through 188 Duffield Street, stating it lacked identity and coherence with the historic houses. The design team was sent back to revise the plans after commissioners found the modifications insufficient. Architects presented changes including a height reduction and facade adjustments, but commissioners felt the overall design did not establish a strong relationship with the surrounding historic structures or the area.
