I don't mind that at all. Nice clean lines and the curve works well. It would have been better had the brick infill been glass, but I'll take that.

I feel like that's been done to allow it to be modified in the future, or is that wishful thinking?

No, I think they just wanted to create something that looks like an old art deco cinema building that's been converted into a shop, hence the 'bricked up' windows.

It's quite a nice shop though - it has a cafe at the front in the window.

They demolished an authentic Art Deco building and replaced it with an awful faux Art Deco building. Pointless exercise.

That's what I thought too.

Yes, I agree that it's a nice enough building. It looks clean and smart .. just wondering though why they had to get rid of the authentic one?

Money! This building will be more efficient.

Thry should have retained the facade and built a shed behind. The grand cinema interior had long gone but this was an imortant landmark.

Good clean looking building
