Title: Building opinion needed
Post by: grumbeast on November 14, 2026, 08:10:49 PM
Hi All,

 I'm having second thoughts about putting the hospital (pic 1) on the hill on Wittanheim so I thought I'd ask opinions.  It seems to overwhelm the area.  SO I'm thinking of a swanky guesthouse instead (pic 2) with a nice driveway, maybe with some poplars lining it.

Here are both ideas, any opinions would be welcome and please forgive the terrible embellishments!

Thanks!

I agree, that hospital does rather dominate.

The guest house is better but is it to scale?
It does look a bit over sized or is that just the camera exaggerating it?

I think its the camera, its not overscale but it is quite a big building, I probably should have said small hotel :)

Ok, in that case yes the guest house/ hotel does sit better rather than the hospital.
