I feel torn but hopeful. The church clearly needs restoration, and adaptive reuse could save it from further decline. Still, the tower’s scale raises real concerns — the church shouldn’t feel overshadowed or reduced to a façade. Its historic details matter. I’m glad the Commission is asking for revisions. With thoughtful changes, this could balance preservation and progress — but it has to truly respect the church’s character. https://qualityrenovation.com
Landmarks Signals Support for Tower Addition to Fort Greene ChurchWow, this place looks amazing — the renovation really brings out the character of the space while keeping it modern and functional. It’s the kind of apartment that makes you pause and think about how much a thoughtful update can transform a home. I also love how visuals help tell that story — playing around with an AI photo tool (https://qualityrenovation.com) would be a fun way to imagine different finishes or design ideas before making any decisions. Great inspiration for anyone thinking about making a move or updating their space!

It’s inspiring to see projects that balance community needs with good design — something that often gets overlooked in larger developments. And speaking of visual appeal, having strong imagery (like using an AI photo tool (https://qualityrenovation.com) to preview design ideas) can really help convey what a space could become before anyone picks up a hammer. Great insight here!
