Funny, I’ve never looked up as I walked by the Joe & the juice building, had to go to street view to see what it looks like. I’ve always thought the 616 building was a sad, pathetic mid century next to the Birge Clark, so an upgrade is welcome there.

More boxy, concrete, earth destroying construction from the Hayes group. Keep the concrete carbon in the ground and don't overshadow the beautiful building that is adjacent.
Little chance that the city won't allow these people to build since that is what they do, but it would be nice if they learned to say NO at some point!

While the new Hayes-designed building clashes with the now classic Birge Clark Hamilton building, times change as does the architecture.
What do critics expect? A modernist-themed clone of a bygone design?
If such is the case, then every new building in Palo Alto should resemble an obsolete Birge Clark design.

Agreeing with TMP. Time to say to no boring and ugly.

Agree with TMP and Online Name enough with the same Hayes stamped signature. His work is predictable and lacking character. No more CAD structures.

The article calls the proposal an office project….no housing? Why?
