It certainly looks better from this angle than in the visuals michael pointed to.

However, I feel that the visuals do not do the designs justice; it would appear to be bulging monstrosity with a bright orange top in some of the visuals, whereas it is in fact a conventional, straight sided building (from the elevations) with different motifs on the sides. The 'bulge' is merely an optical illusion caused by the shading of the drawing.

If you read the design and access statement, it would appear that the top floor is to be clad in copper, which is why it is orange in some of the visuals and green in others, indicating the patination as the copper ages.

So while my initial opinion was unfavourable, on reflection I think that this is a building Forest Hill could be proud of.
