I'm a fan, because davey got sucked into a world of BID MOVE DESIGN. Window Mullion makes this building YEE HAA!!

HA! While I agree that the uneven divions of MOST of the window mullinos add interest; the ones that are EVEN bug me haha. My eye first went to the equally divided window directly over the entrance (while the entrance is going to be hard to read as asymmetrical because it is inherently a symmetrical thing.. unless you oculd make one door wider than the other.. which would be rad haha) And the three windows on the right that are equally sized, it'd be nice to see those either divied w mullions the same prooprtions as the other windows or the windows themselves could vary.. Just my two cents! Hahah.. I like the transparent trees :)

The mullions in the non-storefront window areas had to be beefier to support the wall above it. I needed to get some structure in there. I wanted them to be slimmer for sure. The 3 equal windows are the in the range masters office. So, I was giving him a rigid, symetrical space to signify his role in management of the facility. I think it becomes obvious from the exterior that that is the "office". The aluminum panels that form the sideways "L's" are actually abstract pistols with the windows below them forming the triggers. Those are classrooms behind them. The storefront windows also form an abstract pistol - thus the big move that Kyle was talking about. The red clay colored concrete block walls are secure areas for gun and ammo storage. The actual range is behind all that...
