I want to salute the designers for the brilliant way the addition mirrors the details of the historic facade.
I hope you are being ironic. Its a big old box with minimal detail. What’s worse is the TERRIBLE storefront to be installed that has no scale, no detail, no character –
left in the hands of someone with no skills to design.
I’m really glad they’re preserving some of the historic architecture, wish we would see more of that… still looks so cheap in comparison lol
