While I have no brief for the developer, I do think that facadism seldom works when it involves a lo-rise facade in front of a high rise building. I'm looking at you, Altalusso!

I would agree - I remain unconvinced by the Premier Inn on Custom House Street.

Whilst I disagree completely with the decision to knock down the buildings to begin with, keeping the facades of the former Gwdihw etc. would've looked awful. Better that they start from afresh at least.
