Could anyone give me any information on the second row of shutters above the small east-facing windows (pic.1)? As I recall in the design specifications, Hafod Eryri was supposed to allow a walker on the summit (or on any other path above the building) to be able to see through the building, down to Cwm Clogwyn. For this to happen, the second row of shutters should be opened to reveal windows for the "see-through" characteristic to happen. But of course, in addition to the shutters, the sagging £50,000 (!) white material hung from the roof further damages the line of sight through the building. Therefore, against the thoughts of the press and AMs, I do not believe Hafod Eryri fits in to the mountain if it blocks the view! In addition, I hope the Blaenau granite also weathers as the colour of the rock stands out from a mile away! Don't take me wrong on the comments above, I do think that there was a need for a building, and it is definitely a majestic building, but there was room for something better for the 21st century!
