This seems like an intentional solution to a potentially unaesthetic problem. The AC unit seems to be both machine and decoration. The wall with the foliage on it seems to cut off parts of the unit to make something interesting happen. I doubt the AC unit was designed just for that spot so really the considerations to start dealing with the shape of the AC machine as a given and work from there. Things like the wall can be considered in many ways but the AC unit cannot. I image designing for this is a lot like playing the Sims. Where you can build quite a different amount of stuff but you are still kind of stuck with lego like pieces.
I'm not sure what to think about buildings like these. It's cheeky on purpose ( most obviously with the odd window placement). But does the structure work well with its environment? It seems like the building was designed to be placed in many places like a fast food building. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another one of these standing someplace else in the country.
This is the same building from a previous picture but this time it is obscured by a gas station and some trees. What stands out in particular is the very bright illuminated gas station to the hazy naturally lit office building. It is kind of like watching a television program where one character is in high definition and another character is black and white and all grainy.
