But I agree with Dare about the interior needing some color/light - that upper level is rather dingy-looking. I think the exterior of this building is stunning.

Furthermore, the fact that it didn't have any natural light in the first place is not a justification for its having no natural light now. Why bother? People have to live there, don't they?

As far as heritage goes, they're very good at looking after some stuff, but not so precious about most of their building stock. Dare - Paint? What a strange comment.
