Absolutley awful for so many reasons.
The 'architect' obviously hates the fine city of Wolverhampton to inflict this pile of derivative crap on the poor souls there.
Had he just got back off holiday from Italy...... or Mexico .....or fucking Venus for that matter? The design cues (what they are) are all over the place - quite literally.
I cant believe this is from 2004!
It looks mid 80's at best.
The people of Wolverhampton dont deserve this - in fact this planet does not deserve this pile of stinking shit.
BOMB IT!

They tried to copy Brindley Place in Brum that was built in the 1980's, but they failed.

The lighter parts aren't bad but that red brick makes it look more like a nursing home. 5/10
