I agree but the building could be more sensitively restored or extended and utilised. I'm also not a fan at all of the design of the proposed Premier Inn hotel. It looks cheap and doesn't present a nice facade on any side in my view:
- from Callghan Square, the combination of black and white panelling is yuck. I think it risks feeling a bit like a tall, dark version of 1 Capital Quarter - the worst of the recent office buildings in Cardiff.
- from the East down Customhouse Street the entrance (and awful yellow surround) looks nasty and will detract from the Customhouse
- from the North West the fenestration of the building looks inappropriate given the Customhouse.
