Oh my god these are ugly.
I expected samples how new is incorporated into old but this free standing facade is just plain ugly. Most of the houses seem to be built so at X moment they can just tear the facade down, because it now looks ugly.
I personally would prefer incorporating new with old. Keep the old facade, but it should be part of the house and working with the overall architecture.
- rurounijones 7y agoThes "spotted dog" pub one looked interesting to me and quite nice in a mix of old-new but it follows on to what you said about incorporated vs the freestanding pointless stuff that doesnt match up and has a gap to the new building. It looks horrendous.

- jdsully 7y agoI hate the new trend of preserving tacky neon signs. The Sam The Record Man sign is just ugly. So was the Honest Eds sign (although that one is a bit nicer).
- jotm 7y agoSame thing is happening in other cities, btw. Always thought it looks ridiculous.
