No, the building is 50m. I have the plans. Odd. I'll take your word for it, but I'm pretty sure the difference in height between this building and 374-400 KWS is more noticeable than 3 metres, even factoring in that little bit of roof on the 374 KWS which is a bit higher than the rest of the roof. ...

Nice picture. It's slowly starting to rise off the ground, hopefully quickly now like the Ibis hotel did, as Phantom mentioned. Thanks for the picture, phenom. Unrelated, but what is that building on the opposite side of Gawler Place? When was it built? It's not a building I've ever particularly not...

Awesome pic Phenom! I reckon this will look awesome once KWS fills out. I thought that those top two levels on the KWS side were going to look kinda tacky, but it doesn't look as bad as I thought, thankfully. Also, I actually qute like the idea of Quest's logo being placed sideways on the building,...

Such picture. Very upside down. Many confusion.

Really? I thought it was just clever symbolisation on Dog's part of how this whopping 2 storey skyscraper has turned the Parklands Preservation Society's lives upside down.

Whatever happens, good to see that the arrival of Rundle Place has forced both the Myer Centre and Adelaide Central Plaza to lift their game. Nothing like a bit of competition to kill complacency. Rundle Mall Plaza on the other hand... (Wonderful building externally, aside from the new windows they...

I love some of the comments in that adelaidenow article. The troll suggesting they plant a veggie garden on the empty lot and sell the profits to fund a lawn bowls club was amusing. But then some NIMBY comments about it not having a backyard. Why would you want a backyard if there's vast flipping pa...

Yes, I too enjoy Salsa's, pushbutton. I LOVE Mexican food, even if what we get here in Australia is more Tex-Mex. Salsa's make nice quesadillas and the burritos aren't too bad. Also the Mexi-Crinkle things they make are addictive for some reason, even if they are in no way Mexican. The lime jarritos...

I can't be the only one who dislikes this building. It looks like a claustrophobic box and not in the slim 'New York skyscraper' way. :sly: Get used to it. This building will still be here for many, many more years to come. However, you do raise a good point about the building which I dislike. Firs...

The design of the paving is very poor, and I'm not keen on the benches or the fact that they're keeping the horrible old fountain and pig statues rather than taking the opportunity to install nice looking new public art. However I think there is a seperate thread for this. Look, I think you're trea...

Lumpiest, gappiest toilet seat I've ever seen. But then, you seem to have sprouted a lot of shit in the short time you've been here, so I guess you know what you're talking bout. Honestly mate!. There are plenty of gappy public toilets around. It looks just like one of those! :wink: Now why would y...

Just for shits and giggles, let's compare our two AFL clubs membership advertisements: Port Adelaide: 997Pbf5Se98 Adelaide: ZH04fmdQI-o :lol: Both are terrible and embarrassing. Port's has more of a point while the Crows are just doing a stupid chant, but at least the Crows don't need to remind eve...

wrong thread for it, but the ACC should be providing some sort of incentive for architecturally interesting buildings. Wholly agree with you, Waewick. You'd think the almost unanimous love for the SAHMRI building would surely have already shown them this! Also, I'm sure the footbridge has also reci...

I'm not going to lie - I don't particularly like this building at the moment. It's in an awkward location and doesn't really complement the current building to the east of it. However, I can see why some people would like it, and I'll wait until it's done to judge it properly (there will be new clad...

It might be a small thing, but does anyone know what happened to that fountain that was outside the old Chappell Stand? Is it still there? Was it removed and will be it be put back in? Was it moved somewhere else? It was a nice touch, although it wouldn't look as nice in a sea of concrete. Has anyon...

Hey look! Blank western (and eastern) walls! :lol: Given how narrow the lot is, I don't think setting the building in from the boundary was much of an option — hence the required blank walls. You're right, I was mostly taking the piss at the people who always seem to say that. I guess it's actually...
