"Virtual" house, Glenavy
Image: © Robert Ashby Taken: 2 Apr 2014
I've seen several of these "virtual" buildings in various locations, empty properties made to look as if they are still in use by the clever and creative application of photographic interior murals fixed to the windows. This one even has a virtual door which caught my eye as I cycled past otherwise I might have missed it. Mostly shops, cafes etc but this is the first house I've seen to get the makeover treatment. Obviously done to make the place look less rundown and raise the tone of the neighbourhood. I wonder who came up with the idea in the first place.
