We turn to home renovation and restoration shows to be inspired and often blown away. But this ‘transformation’ of an old gas supply facility on Restoration Australia has left viewers completely flabbergasted.

The old warehouse building located in the heart of North Melbourne held so much potential, and yet viewers couldn’t hide their disbelief at what the huge space was transformed into.

From calling the restoration “impractical” and “ugly”, many people were perplexed by the missed opportunity to honour the building’s heritage features.

Prior to the restoration the couple highlighted the fact they could be spending a large amount of rent for a “tiny apartment in the city”.

And yet viewers then mused that they’ve still only ended up with one “tiny bedroom”.

Not to mention the bedroom was hidden within something viewers called a “giant garbage bag”.
