@KH Evergreens do rather nicely in cold climates, and their color would go naturally with the red in those bricks(?).The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

Usually people landscape with a mix of evergreens and maple.
Maple looks quite nice from April to Oct/Nov12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Red maple is nice. Silver maple has too much trash. Is it Bradford Pear that are green all year?Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Another thought: How well would creeping vines do in Mont's climate? I'm talking the kinds that enjoy growing all over the sides of buildings. I can see some decids in there without their leaves, one pine tree (like I said, they're happy in winter and look good with the building), and my eyes can't easily make out what's going on in the space between the street and the building proper. Is that the winter mix of Grass-sidewalk-dirty snow?The cake is NOT a lie. It's so delicious and moist.

Huge, unmitigated NAY. Brutalism is an offense against human feeling.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Here's an example of brutalism in Washington, D.C. Third Church of Christ Scientist. The Christian Scientists have wanted to tear this damn thing down for years.
The problem with obliterating these abominations is that you have a number of people on architectural boards who will fight for keeping examples of notable architecture styles, even if the building is an abomination.Attached FilesI came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

On second thought, it's not a totally unmitigated NAY. There is one example of brutalist architecture in Washington that I like -- Metrorail.
