As for the unfinished details, from the story: "While heritage is honoured in the design, not every detail is buffed to museum standards. Some areas such as an exposed wall of concrete, plaster and paint act like an archeological investigation — revealing the structural heft of a building that was made to last." Guess it's just a matter of preference.

I seriously wonder if they say that sometimes just to cover up a truth that is "we didn't have enough money to do a full restoration so we left parts "unfinished" so it looks like it was intentional to mask our goof up and to make it look like a design element".
Kind like how "exposed concrete and steel beams" in a lot of modern buildings is just code for "we were too cheap and modern chic allows us to get away with doing this" imo.
Also the lunch room looks like a martha stewart craft room haha - my mom was addicted to light wood and white and it always just made the room feel too.. bare..
