位於深水埗南昌街14號為群公寓,是6層三角柱狀的建築,昔日是該區地標。以往有舊香港轉角唐樓的味道,不時成為攝影愛好者及文化團的參觀對象。

2019年,公寓外牆已完全翻新,顏色變成古銅色,設計略帶 Cyber 味道。不少網民指其橙綠交錯的金屬外牆設計「核突」、不倫不類。評語包括:「這個的確毫無美感,又不能保存原貌,冇乜意思」、「其實新工程唔可以封露台」、「我不喜歡現在模樣,真是不倫不類,尤其隻色」、「變_咗 CyberPunk 2077」、「一幢咁有特色既建築……就咁玩完」。

The Apartment located at 14 Nam Cheong Street, Sham Shui Po, is a 6-storey triangular columnar building and was a landmark of the district in the past. It used to look and feel like the old Hong Kong Chinese corner tenement house, and had become the object of desire for photography enthusiasts and cultural groups from time to time.

In 2019, the exterior wall of the apartment has been completely renovated, using a bronze colour, with a somewhat Cyber design.  Many netizens feel that the orange-green metal exterior wall design is ugly and nondescript. Their comments include: “This is indeed not aesthetically pleasing, and it didn’t preserve the original appearance. It is meaningless”, “the balcony should not be sealed”, “I don’t like the current appearance, it is really nondescript, especially the colour”, “change to CyberPunk 2077”, “a building with just unique characteristics… just gone.”
