CHELSEA?Ladies and gentlemen, the rant of the day, re: One Ill Building: "Why hasn't anyone seemed to notice the "replica" gold-colored domes on the O'Neill Building at 6th Ave and 22nd St. look like plastic? I think they really are plastic, actually. They've been up for months now, and I can't understand why I don't hear people screaming as they walk by that the domes are PLASTIC! At first I thought that surely the domes were going to get some kind of cladding or leafing or something, but no. Those awful looking things are staying. How do you ruin a zillion dollar conversion project in a building with a landmark facade? Put huge plastic dome things on the corners. Honestly, am I the only one or is it pretty plain to everyone that the developers put plastic D-cups on the roof of their building? If I had spend $2 million plus to live there, I'd be furious. Why isn't anyone saying anything--or shouting anything?" Slightly outdated dome pic via Stu_Jo. [CurbedWire Inbox]
