Based on the discussion with Prof Hartkopf, several issue of the design was brought about:

• The appearance is too "commercial / industrial" like
• The living-group arrangement is good, but the living space facing north should reflect its different physical environment: 

- daylight redirecting for lower levels
- skylight for the top level

• Need to get feedback from different "user" of the building.
