I think they need to utilize that roof by packing it with amenities. Strip off the upper wrapping facade then add outdoor seating or lounges along with glassed in areas, all with views over the city.

They should add this blue St Louis limestone

Obviously this works at an office building but idk if it works on a residential…unless you plan to provide blackout curtains to everyone

If we provide blackout curtains. Then why live in the building if you can't enjoy the view half the time? Why that spend unnecessary money trying to light the outside when there are already paying residents that will do that for you?

I think they can light the exterior without blasting units with light. There has to be a way to make this building the signature tower in STL at night. If they will need to be subtle, the Beacon plan is good. 

We could do what Civil Courts Building does and light up the parts of the building that don't interfere with anything inside. For example they could do this with all the parking floors they have. I'm thinking something like this

(Ignore the the Peabony building lol)

I love this, it reminds me of Tron Legacy haha. 

Either would certainly be an improvement to the skyline.

I imagine you just make a black metal back surround behind the LED strips that gently curves behind to flag the light off of the windows but make it visible from outside the building.

Not an engineer, just work with lighting in video a lot.

Since the first few floors will be amenities, retail, parking, this could work. There was some rendering in recent years where Gateway Foundation/city was working to potentially try to do this type of lighting at least with the horrible parking garages facing the gateway mall.

No building makes me want to puke quite like the Peabody, can’t ever ignore it lol

Just getting any light will improve even the on street experience. It’s so dark under that building

^ man, those garages are so ugly. They should have done it.

I vote for subtle.  Leave the over-done gaudiness to Vegas. The one that Jallen posted would be perfect. 

Here's nearly a 360 degree view from the rooftop of 909 Chestnut, using Google Earth's model.

Barely anything in the range of visibility has actually change from when this model was created, (which was pretty recent).

This was taken using an app called Wooorld on a Meta Quest 3.

is this a great idea for 900 Chestnut Chemical Railway buildings and others?

That would be a little too morbid, especially for the abandoned industrial buildings that burn frequently.

Quite the symbolism.
