Stephenson Bell, you’re right. A freudian slip!

This building is hideous. Never before have I seen such a bland and poorly shapen building be praised as magnificent architecture. Except maybe the 70′s.

Comment on Drummond House by Ross Drummond

Ross Drummond — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 00:16:44 +0000

Rebelina,

This building is clearly not an eyesore ( although I may be slightly biased!!!). It is an innovative piece of architecture which blends with its surroundings, this is why it has been recognised so widely and won so many awards! As for flooding, the ground around the house was raised by a few feet and it is only a small burn that is adjacent to the property. The risk of flooding is minimal to say the least. We love our new home and are very proud of it. I think if you saw it for what it actually is then you would understand why it is a class building. Doing something different is always going to create a reaction and I think the amount of debate on here displays what an unusual and thought provoking building this is!

Kind Regards,
Ross Drummond

This is possibly the worst looking building I have ever laid my eyes upon.

Comment on West End Phase 4 by Stuart Montague

Stuart Montague — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 08:25:57 +0000

I understand that there may be some techniques used to save on overall cost which is commendable but, other than that I can’t see why these buildings have any merit.

Am I missing something?

Comment on Liverpool One by Rowan

Rowan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 13:16:52 +0000

“Anyway, what do I know as a lay person”. … in the same boat then. My comments are strictly limited to the development and as far as shopping developments go then its one of the best I have been to.

However.

Value for money. No.

Comment on Eagles Meadow by Rowan

Rowan — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 12:50:58 +0000

Following the logic of your argument if Eagles Meadow had spend 10x as much then would they not end up with ‘a monstrosity with nothing going for it.’?.

Is great Architecture a funcrtion of Budget or design?

To answer the charge, I have nothing to do with Liverpool 1, I just happen to work in Wrexham and Liverpool.

If you want a PR slant on things then read Rachels comment . I can image it comming straight out of a brouchure.

Comment on Eagles Meadow by Rachel

Rachel — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 19:11:26 +0000

This is a brilliant development. The curved suspension bridge is an inspired design whilst the large open circular areas give a sense of space – plenty of room for crowds of shoppers and the occasional special event. The use of natural materials like local slate compliments the modern feel of glass, tiling and the wonderful vertical timber facade. The water feature is a delight and the old church forms a focal point at one end of the development.
Several new store names have come to Wrexham to inhabit the shops, bringing jobs and more choice for local people who now don’t have to travel so far for quality. The cinema and bowling alley add extra enjoyment for the people of Wrexham and surrounding areas.

A house to be on a wish list. Good looking from the outside as well as the new interior.
