I am ok with the main part of Olymipa club since they rebuilt the facade to match the one that was lost due to the 40s recladding. It makes sense here because there is a literal history to draw from and they did a pretty faithful job matching the new design to the old one from photos and other historic documents. The smaller eastern facade is less great - to me it looks very one dimensional since they used thin brick veneer instead of full sized bricks (the windows are extremely flush with the brick and the facade almost looks painted on) - I would have preferred to see something more transparent here to let the main portion shine, but I understand why Core did what they did... I just think the execution of the materials on this part wasn't great.
