lapal_fan Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Bennett pub in Birmingham (Bennetts Hill Road) It's even got a hidden room feels very Harry Potter-ish I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted November 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm with you Chris Castel Coch is a bit too Disneyland for my tastes, only a dickhead builds a folly based on a Bavarian castle on the outskirts of Cardiff, it is just wrong.

The_Rev Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Town Hall, Birmingham That's the council house isn't it? The town hall is on the left, just out of shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Aye, castell coch, which if the tree outside would drop its leaves, I could see from today's window (with binoculars). maman, outside Tate Modern was a bit more my taste. I was working just around the corner whilst this was installed so I spent lunch hours sat there staring at it and considering myself a very lucky boy to be working in the very centre of the known universe St Paul's, wobbly bridge, Tate, National, Rose, Tower Bridge, Eye.........

villa4europe Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 ive just done the internal refurb on the council house, previously did the BMAG, outside they are great buildings inside they are embarrassing, large bits of the building is left to wrack and ruin, loads of small rooms and tucked away bits they don't use and never look after, and then the council now has this decoration scheme that it uses across all its offices (Lancaster circus, woodcock street ect) which isn't great, its a building they could spend the next 20+ years refurbing if they had the cash that said the old conference rooms where we used to have site meetings and also the main reception are stunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I like the nuneaton Co-Op one, very much of it's time. I did very well salvaging solid brass art deco 'elephant ear' door handles from branches of a High Street 'brand' that wanted to be more funky. The brass handles had lasted 80 plus years and were just gorgeous, I'd imagine the one's they replaced them with are probably broken by now, or the wrong shade of black to be funky.

bickster Posted November 4, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yep was about to say the same about the co-op, a bit more to please the eye than just functionality, in fact the only thing wrong with it is the modern plastic shite on the ground floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted November 4, 2013 Author Share Posted November 4, 2013 I'm not huge on the old redbrick stuff in and around Belfast, but I do like the old H&W HQ (which has long been criminally abandoned, as well as most of that part of town, but rennovation is on its way). Pretty standard from the outside Pretty great inside the drawing offices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
