One International Place
The building has three separate elements. These consist of the tower itself, as well as two smaller components (27- and 19-stories), linked to Two International Place by a central dome with fifty-five-foot rain fountain court and winter garden.
An architectural critic said "the multifaceted towers offend through the dullness of their exterior articulation—particularly the density of Palladian windows, crowned with false arches". Another critic states that the Palladian windows are "a late 20th-century corporate version of the un-composed vernacular use of a decontextualised architectural element" and complain of their "relentless deployment on this vast building, that bears no relationship to the human form from which the Palladian window derived its scale".
