The proposed design is totally inconsistent with the historical aesthetic of the locale. The proposal should be rejected on the basis that numerous properties in close proximity have been modernised and improved in a manner consistent with the historical nature of the area. Examples are 'Dominion Apartments', 'Eternity Playhouse', 'East Sydney Community Centre (Cnr Palmer & Burton)', 'East Sydney Early Learning' (277 Bourke St). All of these are old properties redeveloped and modernised in a manner sensitive to the history aesthetic of the area, not to mention the numerous terrace houses up and down Bourke St, Liverpool St, Palmer St etc all ow which had been modernised and redeveloped in a manner sensitive to the historic aesthetic of the locale.
The proposed design should be immediately rejected and marked 'F-' 'Must do better'
