This car-parking building on Hereford street with a Timezone arcade in the ground floor has actually became a bit of a meme online. It's right in central Christchurch, less than a block from Cathedral Square and on the backside of Cashel street. It's a basically a big concrete wall, set about 20 meters back from the road. The carparking building is somewhat a part of the BNZ Centre, as well as Oxford Terrace. When I first saw it around when it opened last year, I was somewhat bemused and disappointed that building looking like this will be allowed in the central city (let alone another parking building). However, since then I've seen a few photos of this building a numerous social media sites/posts, often with little context besides something like "look at this big strange ugly concrete building". Even seen foreigners repost photos of it and talk about it. It goes to show this is not a regular building. Often dubbed the "brutalist arcade" Walked past it again yesterday, and nothing much has changed. Anyone know if there are any plans for it/the site in front of it which is currently a bare patch of grass? Also, what are people's thoughts on it? #christchurch #newzealand #architecture #urbanplanning #nz

Flipping Houses in Boston: Challenges in Boston🏡⬇️ While the profit potential is promising, house flipping in Boston comes with its set of challenges. The city's real estate market is known for its competitiveness, making it essential to ensure that your projected profit margin justifies your investment. This is particularly pertinent in a bustling city like Boston, where desirable neighborhoods command high prices. Another aspect that makes house flipping in Boston distinctive is the city's historic architecture. While these buildings hold immense charm, they can also pose challenges during renovations. Striking a balance between modernizing a property and adhering to historic preservation regulations requires careful navigation. #bostonrealestate #bostonhomes #bostonluxuryhomes #homesellinginnewton #sellingnewton #newtonma #newtonrealtor #newtonhomes #brooklinerealestate #newtonrealestate #newtonluxuryhomes #brooklinehomes #brooklineluxuryhomes

This article in the Buffalo news highlights the rehabilitation of Buffalo’s historic Trico Plant No. 1, a former factory originally built in the 1920s and 1930s, into a vibrant mixed-use complex. Once vacant for decades, the building was transformed through adaptive reuse, a process supported by historic tax credits. These credits were instrumental in preserving the structure’s architectural character while repurposing it for modern uses like loft apartments. This project reflects Buffalo’s broader trend of revitalizing historic buildings, contributing to urban renewal and economic growth. While the full article is behind a paywall, it emphasizes the critical role of preserving and repurposing historic structures as community assets. We are proud to have been the historic tax credit consulting team on this model for leveraging HTCs to save architectural landmarks and breathe new life into neighborhoods. #historictaxcredits #historicbuildingreuse #communityassets

A term I like to use is context. What is the character of the neighborhood. It is however, important to understand that in urban environments, one of the elements of a stimulating environment is the juxtaposition of modern and classical, strong yet simple form coupled with classical architectural ornament. In college one of the first assignments I had as to create variety within order. This sums up what a great urban environment should be.

‘’In their quest to build more and bring down costs, YIMBYs have identified one overlooked hang-up: stairs. Yes, the humble stairwell is an unlikely but powerful foe. More specifically, they're taking aim at a widespread rule that requires almost every new apartment building in the US to include at least two separate stairwells. This part of local codes, they say, is an outdated safety measure that really just makes apartment units smaller, more expensive, and darker (yes, darker).’’ https://lnkd.in/eVmVNKTv.
