Yes, this is is what I came on board for - architecture that is worthy of praise
even the BACK is done the old style - with the arches and sash style windows.. so beautiful... and it will look beautiful because it's new and unblemished by time
Thank god Liuna and core urban exist. I will say this - I think both these companies have made the most impact to the core. When I walk down king william I feel a sense of identity and culture. These buildings reflect the past and a sense of architectural pride. The additions to them are modern but tasteful, and a combination of old and new is maintained. I feel we need to treat our heritage with respect in that way, and keep adding to it.
We can't all just have modular lego blocks or glass boxes as our design focus going forward. That is soulless design. Thank god we have an eclectic mix in this city. It's so encouraging to know that they are still focused on building NEW heritage designs, and not just restoring old ones.. it really is.
Now if only they would take over the buildings to the south of king in gore park and restore those as well.
