Great start to the day to see this on the front page this morning. Had to laugh at the thoughts of the random youngsters on the comments page though.......omg..... :oops: The only company I can see having the cash, space requirement and ego (and balls) to anchor and finance a new tallest in Adelaide...

So ..... you don't like it then? But seriously, each to his own, this forum is here for you to voice your opinion. :) :D I know it's negative but it's an honest first impression. I can understand why they want to maximize floor space by twisting it but if there's overhang at the front it could be c...

:toilet: Reminds me of the Pirie St/Gawler Pl proposal. It started out as a nice design that incorporated the heritage facade well before changes saw it become an ugly, dated box that treats the heritage facade with brutal contempt. The last design for this one was pretty good and raising it's heigh...

I still don't get who the club's supporters are actually angry with. The ACC? The DAC? I'm guessing it's the (probably very happy) ex-owner of the property who sold it to the developer? Or the developer? It seems straightforward why a developer would buy a small neighbouring property so he doesn't h...

Big nights at the DAP then. Mulled over the removal of a few trees, knocked back someone's floorplan variation, approved an extension for the Lion Hotel (probs to wedge in more pokies) and then slammed a multi-million dollar 22 level apartment project. Why? Because it exceeds and doesn't match the v...

Small venues in rented digs come and go. Always happened, always will. Obviously the JM is a terrible looking building from every angle and not the sort of thing a new multi-million dollar hotel would want bordering their property. Years ago I may have sided with the hipsters and described its look ...

My old map says this sits in an ACC 40m limit zone. Great building, striking design, nice mix of uses and the colour of finish used in the first render is actually very 'Adelaide' imo. 8) Deep down though, I suspect the DAP will recommend planning refusal, the DAC will grant planning approval, then ...

Design to be less PS3, more Atari 2600.

lol, what a pile.

City of Broken Dreams.

I agree that there is no demand for a super tall icon tower, but I disagree with the statment that we can't do better in regard to architecture. Recent buildings such as Wave and Edge have shown that you can build attractive looking buildings without spending a fortune. All you need are creative ar...

...Adelaide can do much better than that. I see this written all the time and wonder why people are so sure it's true. I agree with you that the building design lacks any excitement whatsoever. This'll likely see me flamed :wink: ....but tbh, I don't think Adelaide can do much better than this and ...

^ lol. Harsh but I have to agree. I never realized the North Tce facade was designed to have a faux heritage sized mask stuck to it's face until I saw the building from this distance. It's hideous in a weird 'Phantom of the Opera' type way. Seemed appropriate to get a photo of it last week using a 1...

I want one of the undersize 48sq one beds with undersize balcony and concrete column obstructed car park space.

Sounds like a wonderfully 'urban' life.

Bye Union Hall. I'll see you in another life, when we are both cats.

Wow, boring, dated and ugly even in render, that's some effort. Imagine the reality of those vertical and horizontal supports.

Lost for words....from brilliant to bland in one post.

Congrats on the ice cream though. Hope it's working. I may go for KFC.
