Edit; Apologies I see someone close to hand has already put it up, teach me to read what he writes occasionally ;)

Awful looking building, just as well it's hidden. Personally I would have liked to have seen a more rustic look to it which would be more in keeping with the environment.
It works for me. Light and airy, with a feel of the openess of the surrounding countryside. And the uprights look like birch stems. Maybe (Pompous Jerk Alert) even linking with Woodhenge, Durrington Walls and The Sanctuary.

Mind you, I see no pictures of the car park...

Peace

That’s an encouraging sign ;-)

Meanwhile, let’s not forget what it used to look like.
