Things to note:

the apartment buildings they have built inside Pentridge Prison look like shit and do not honour the heritage of the site at all.
I've had to drive a lot for work the past couple of weeks, and can I just say traffic in Melbourne is pretty much fucked at all times of the day.
I've caved and bought some sugar free San Pellegrino. I'm looking forward to it.

I fkn hate that apartment building in the prison. Like, just a big fat eyesore.

Make it black and white and put bars on all the windows and balconies, then, maybe, it would fit the aesthetic a colonial prison-turned-shops. Ugh. Greedy mfs

I'll be honest I generally hate modern architecture. It mostly looks cheap tacky and nasty.
