Update to this entry.
It looks like they are redesigning the whole front of the building. I think they are going to enclose some of the pointless frontage space and put something in it (probably somewhere you can buy food or coffee based on the local changes recently).
I'm glad Wellington architects have finally stopped trying to build airy plazas for people to stand and talk in. They stand almost no chance of being used for anything other than scurrying through on your way out of the wind/rain/worse. Even better, they seem to have figured out that you can fill those spaces with nice places to buy food and drink for people to stand/sit and talk in. Horay for indigenous usage patterns!
(now we just need to convince them not to put any gaps in the verandahs and we might have a usable city space.)
