Bending Wall
The Erie, a building at 2351 Champlain St. NW, just down the street from our offices, offers "light-drenched condos," "rooftop retreats," and parking, all of which sounds just fab.
I'm not so sure about another amenity, though, the "undulating courtyard walls soaring to 45 feet." That sounds like something out of Poltergeist!
Maybe it's lovely and canyonlike, but I'll bet they don't get a lot of Californians moving in. This is what I think of when I hear "undulating walls."

I remember one night maybe ten months ago when this building was still a skeleton, one of the residents on champlain street engaged me in a half hour conversation about how the building's vertical axis was off kilter. I couldn't see anything obviously wrong, but I was forced to agree that there was something a little weird about it that I couldn't quite place.
I had no idea it would turn out to be a design feature.
