Most houses of this type gave way to apartment buildings a century ago. This is truly a holdout.
This architect is horrible. Nearly as bad as Badaly. This will unfortunately be 100% barf. Such a shame.
This architect has no talent, no integrity and no taste. The “designs” are mindboggingly thoughtless and cheap and could be viewed as aesthetic vandalism in the handsome pre-war neighborhoods they’re being unleashed on. If you want to get depressed just look through Fred Geremia, Badaly or Caliendo’s recently completed projects. They’re 90% horrendous. These hacks should be run out of town.
Akin to a doctor that has no compassion for their patients.
We are all now witnessing the slow destruction of single family homes.
I don’t give a rip about this little house biting the dust. I give a rip about these lousy hack architects defacing the neighborhood ugly thoughtless crap. It’s not hard to design an attractive building, yet firms like Fred Geremia seem to find that too big a task. Astonishing these people even have license to practice.
Good. This site is so close to so many mass transportation connections, would be better off housing more people.
