The massing and site plan (+retail layout) here was so promising and had me excited, but that cladding combo is seriously making this hard to look at in a way that only Design Haus could compete with.
It's just beyond innept from a material and design standpoint. There's just so many things wrong with it that just shouldn't be, especially when the architect and developer have shown competence on other projects (Graywood is hit or miss, but how did they manage to miss so bad?). Whoever was in charge of the finalized cladding plan needs to be held accountable.
That solid grey spandrel wall facing the heritage house may be the biggest disgrace of it all. If it's ever restored it will always be in shadow of that cladding monstrosity.
It just feels like so little care or thought was put into the finalized design, I just dont even have the energy to waste my time thinking about it. It deserves nothing, none of my time, because that's what it feels like is being said from the lack of care in materials.
