Regency appears as such a dogs breakfast of styles and finishes and volumes in its renderings, which is why a few of us are so all-over-it. At least Minto next door, while still historicist, has a unity to it, and pleasing proportions.
If they apply some quality materials at ground level, the building may be pleasant to walk by when all is said and done, but the overall design means that from a distance, this place will always look like the poorly designed kitsch palace that it is.
