I think it's a fair comment. While I'm happy that the original cladding has been saved and re-used, the vent colour and placement makes them stand out like a sore thumb. It would be nice if they could camouflage them a little so they aren't so stark.

My standards for heritage preservation in Halifax have become very low in recent years, so I do like the project as it's turning out overall, but it would be nice if some of the low-hanging-fruit details could be done better.
