Dear Architect,
These flats would have looked better if you'd left the brickwork exposed all the way up. Why did you feel the need to cover the top two thirds with cold-looking cream render that makes the dark and over-large windows look like uninviting square holes. With a little thought, you could have designed an attractive all-brick building with some polychromatic detail and cosy small windows that would have fitted in better with the surrounding architecture.
And why did you suppose the prospective tenants would want windows down to the floor? In this situation, passers-by will be able to look straight up their skirts, unless they curtain the lower part off. Or has privacy gone out of fashion?
When the new tenants move in (if they ever do - because it's been standing empty for nearly two years), we will doubtless be treated to unwanted views of their TV sets as we walk down the street.
You have my personal carbuncle award for complete lack of imagination.
