  8. Hasn't anyone noticed that these are not before and after pictures. Look at the details of the nieghboring houses such as gutters and windows. Also notice in the last two pictures, the difference between the yellow houses before and after as well as the clearance to the street and the building accross the street.

    You must also be fond of olive-colored bathroom tiles and orange & purple wall paper patterns.

  22. I don't think I would call that a "transformation" or a "remodel" so much as "completely changing the character of the original building to the point that it probably would've been cheaper to just tear the whole thing down and start anew."

  24. i think its very creative. the only reason everyone is hating is because they don't have the money or creativity to turn something that was run down and old into something that is modern and fun.

  25. It was meant to be inspiring to people and i think it's an amazing transformation to look at.
    If you don't like it, then just don't say anything. it's that simple.

  26. If the old, brick building with character had been transformed and made useful and habitable, that would be cool. But with all the monumental rest of it, they just added a McMansion to an old brick building with character - Franken-mansion.
