    Great to see a positive step for adaptive reuse of an existing factory building.

    The only negative point I can see is the North aspect (May St). The empty facade area above the street number 44-56 appear to be a forgotten detail. The designer & owner should consider using it for "New Display Area Public Art" space just like North West aspect for the new lane way connecting May St and Hutchinson St as shown on the elevation drawing.

    The increased retail here is great and I like the idea of increased density for this lot. I am disappointed by the May Street facade though, as it seems an irrational explosion of strong colour has been used to try to cover up an otherwise bland / cheap facade. I think this is a real shame as this site has so much potential and plays an important role in the revitalization on the St Peters triangle. Prehaps varying materials or stepping of the facade might eliminate the need to plaster it with such strong colours. Maybe some more generous windows might also help.

    The proposal is an appalling overdevelopment which does not provide adequate parking for the proposed residential plus retail density.

    The size of the building is completely out of proportion for the area.

    The proposed laneway is going to increase noise and traffic in Hutchinson Street and serves no useful purpose.

    The only reason this development is possible is because of the corruption of previous ALP and Independent councillors who dumped all the high density development required by the State government in our area, protecting the suburbs where they live.

    The scale and increased density is fitting for the area. Since this is the first significant redevelopment in May St, the facade on May St is terribly disappointing and a missed opportunity to do something fantastic for this street. I really don't like or understand what's going on with all the crazy multi-color palette.

    Compare to other adaptive reuse of buildings such as the development in Newtown/Erskinville (Example - motifnewtown.com.au/design) It almost seem the Architect wasn't even trying and complete wasted opportunity to kick off a new era for May St and St Peters triangle.
