I might have been hasty, there are some imaginative aspects to this project and it's refreshing to see a practice thinking urbanistically at a concrete scale. I suppose it's easy to be critical when we see something that surprises us. I'm still not sure about the blind facade, it's rather absolute. It's relationship to the adjacent Georgian building feels a little heavy handed. The frontage is very similar to the existing, almost a copy, but at the same time very, very different. And then the side elevation is something completely different again, almost alien to the front. I find there are too many gaps. But again, my reason for questions is intrigue.
