I don't see any effort in the new design to try and match up with the elderly Constance. Soulless watered down modernism. Yet that beautiful church didn't even see two decades before the wrecking ball came calling. People are stupid.

That design is a snooze. The only thing offensive about that design is how inoffensive it is. Come on Pasadena, show some guts when it comes to the future. It's not all about past preservation. Plus the designs you let slip through on residential hillside developments suck. They really do.

I am not fond of the color in the exterior, hopefully when it is complete it will look more attractive. I'm glad that it will be a cafe; fingers crossed for an awesome breakfast place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502357583419605461.post-56849885199478043822010-09-16T13:05:48.561-07:002010-09-16T13:05:48.561-07:00DaN17CaLI,

We finally finished the construction of the cafe'. Now we are focusing on the equipments and then hiring of the employees. It will be called "Next Door Cafe'". I will take pictures and send them to you."<br />Stay tuned and I'll post the pictures here when I get them.<br />ThalThal Armathurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870045897147257935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3502357583419605461.post-12711691390052465932010-09-09T08:06:43.090-07:002010-09-09T08:06:43.090-07:00I agree with Petrea, the new building looks very u...I agree with Petrea, the new building looks very unimaginative. Can't architects do better than this nowadays?

But I guess it won't be any more dull than what's already there. If I sound negative, so be it.
