The former architecture critic of
the New York Times, Carter Horsley, who was a guest speaker at Info
Fest, commented on Hunters View and One Hunters Point.
"One Hunters Point and Hunters View both exhibit a very
clean and crisp aesthetic derived from Modernist industrial architecture that
emphasized fine proportions, functionality and elegance. The broad windows echo
those found on many of the older commercial properties in Long Island
City but are framed with discretely designed spandrels that greatly
enhance the buildings' appearance. Rather than indulge in showy colors
and garish appendages like many recent new residential buildings in the
outer boroughs of the city, these very handsome two buildings are
restrained and refined in the best traditions of contextual
architecture."
