its the "emperors new clothes" syndrome:roll: a turd is still a turd even if you roll it in glitter, this still looks an eyesore and most of the apartments are empty and are unsold, how long before the council step in to use it as asylum seeker housing??

Over 500 years ago, the construction industry was knocking up York Minster. Today, someone is nominated for an award for refurbishing a flat and sticking a coloured sheet of aluminium on the front. The constant strive for mediocrity continues.

As reported in one of my previous threads ... possibly one of the worst buildings ever!

The interiors look very nice I must admit, but the exterior, compared to the cladding used on Hyde Park flats, is very uninspiring.

 

I wouldn't live there but then again, I wouldn't live in the city centre full stop.

here we go bash park hill again. You seriously think hype park looks better? If I could afford it and if I didn't have 2 young children I would love to live there. I think they look great

No, not really. They have 'funky' mortgage workshops though.

 

Have US even paid the £1 fee for the building (after claiming millions in subsidies)?
