I think you're clouding your judgement with fond memories of your dear-departed Pebble Mill complex, Beep.
I agree that the view from the foyer was fairly uninteresting, but I don't think much of the indoor activities could be viewed from the road: there weren't many pedestrian passers-by with eyesight good enough to see that far without strong binoculars. Who were they communicating with, exactly, with this design?
The proposed studio wasn't constructed, which is why the foyer was originally used on a temporary basis, and then eventually kitted out with proper lighting and even given the unofficial name 'Studio C'.
It set-up may have initially been the result of bad planning, but the result looked like lazy set design and a cheap alternative.
It wasn't that far at all. It was about 30 meters, if you can't see that far you need glasses. The proposed second studio, C, that was never built was initially meant to go the the north of Studio A and wasn't constructed because they miscalculated the space requirements and would've meant the removal of a substation.
I disagree entirely, Pebble Mill Road was not in the least bit pleasing on the eye. I suspect this was part of the extended design of Pebble Mill too, that the audience and viewers were aware of what was going on inside and was a conscious decision, to design it the way it was to communicate with the people that would see it. So I don't think it was lazy set designers.
