I don’t like the slanted roof on the top of them “too dam symmetrical” has the architect no style or what! He was nearly there because the rest of the building is fine and its just a pity that he finished it off with such an uninspiring roof.
It would of been nice when desiging the roof if he infused the rule of thirds, instead of each one being like an exact clone of the other…

I love balance (and think all new major buildings should have it) but I really don’t like it in the obvious 50 50/ half and half way, its more of a challenge to a good architect to try and achieve balance in a more artistic way, and produce something that would make you stop and look at for a minute and say to yourself “ya that works, that’s good, that original, bla bla bla ”
but this fella tuck the straight-cut, boring route in my opinion… But in sayin that they are a bit of an improvement on the ones they threw up across from the sacred heart home
