"This royally-appointed, Parthenon-meets-Brookside hybrid is architectural dabbling of the worst kind" So writes a commentator in the Guardian who goes on to say "Now, there's no doubt that Charles has skim read the odd architecture pattern book, and can crank out a few pediments, pilasters and oculi windows, but a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. If you were momentarily fooled that this was the work of an architect, check out the two black drainpipes dropped down on either side of the faux balcony. Nice. Like designing a Bentley with the exhaust pipe sticking out of the roof."
