It's also nice to have different designs to break up the businesses and buildings. Having too many businesses with the same look is kind of boring. If I were to tell someone how to find "The Brain" I'd suggest the bright yellow building, not give more specific addresses. With many modern buildings, especially block wide buildings it can be hard to differentiate between establishments. It's part of why the Honest Ed's redevelopment is applauded in it's design.



Could NOT agree with you more! We still need craftsmanship on the first few floors - as I say, class over glass.

Love seeing the manual bricklaying - great to see this one going up
