This could have been a really cool reno with a better roof line and some vertical siding that tied in the butresses. Instead, it just looks cheap.
replies:
Is this another one of those "by law, the addition has to look visibly distinct from the historical structure" renovations?
Same thing that allegedly happened to this one?
replies:
Before building work started I guarantee they promised "A tasteful renovation in keeping with the structure's historical aesthetic"🙄

Better than just demolishing the church, I guess, but they could have invested a little more into the materials and design and made it blend with the original facade better. Don't just build a square vinyl box.

Seems to be in North America (license plate dimensions) so they probably did that to maximize the number of apartments while still keeping as much of the church as possible (without necessarily being required to as it is in the UK), would have looked better with another type of siding though...
Oh hey I've driven by that, yeah it's ugly as fuck. It's up in Lawrence Mass
I’ve heard that leaving one wall up like this classifies a construction project as a renovation. I’m guessing this was done because it was cheaper or it’s in a historic district? Idk

Wouldn't look so bad if they matched the color at least

Anyone notice the house next door that’s almost touching the former church? There’s paint on the stone wall and the house”s windows. It’s like the painters didn’t mask anything.
Bro we got the lowest prices around! I promise we are going to get you looking right. The restoration job your asking for we can deliver bro. Bro I got you. Your gonna save 60%. Property value is gonna go way up. Bro its all about calculating ROI. Algorithms and shit. 😂
Could be worse... it could have one less floor.
It looks like shit but it's better than letting all those bricks go to waste. I bet the insulation's pretty decent too.
