Thanks to our SA Gun - Will for this one.

This development is for the site at 25 Market Street off Gouger Street. It is a mixed-use building that is 30.2m high and has 9 levels. It features 6 levels of office accomodation totalling 3606 sqm2. It will also feature 5 townhouse style apartments in the top 2 levels. The ground floor will have 16 carparks and retail tenancies.

Here's the DA.

If someone wants to strip the render out of it and post it here, that'd be great.. as my photoshop stopped working with Vista

Cheers

WOW.

That is officially the worst, most bland designed building I have ever seen.

[southsider]

i agree

[shuza]

Its not THAT bad. Simple isn't always a bad thing.

[rev]

[Mants]

it already looks dated by about 25-30years and it hasnt even been built yet

thats a shocker

[stumpjumper]

The bland appearance is due to it being designed down to a cost and to the standardising influence of the Building Code of Australia.

Parking looks a bit tight, both access and numbers. If you had one of the 5 x 3 bed apartments you might want to keep one of your probable two parks empty and lease it to someone in the offices section of the building to subsidise your rent/mortgage.

Only when we get rid of developers who think that the only goal in developing a site is to maximise the net lettqable floor area at the cheapest rate per metre, will we get some decent architecture in this town.

Bravo to the developers

I hope the other brilliant low rise on Gouger Street goes ahead rather than this boring bland thing.

I like it. Less is more.

[Pistol]

Yeah i'm with you Tambi, I really quite like it. I would love to own one of those townhouses. Wonder how much they would go for???

[Matt]

That building is revolting.

[AtD]

Approved, as per Will's post here.

[Plasmatron]

I do hope they update the design somewhat, or at least it turns out somewhat different than the inital rendering would suggest...

[ynotsfables]

It's good for that side of town, it may not be the most prestigiuos of developments, but it does add density and height to help transform that area. Once you get the building occupied it may appear more exciting.

[Will]

Approved, as per Will's post here.

Thanks Adam, I completely forgot there was a thread about this one. However in light of the changes made to this building, I think that it would be appropriate if the moderators changed the title of the thread to 5 levels.
