[PRO] Re: Festival Plaza Tower 2 | 149m | 38 Levels | Office
It will sound like an each-way cop-out, but my opinion is this: Do I think it's appropriate to stick another office tower in a public square, partially blocking the view of the heritage Parliament House? Is this the right location? No. Since the decision has been made, do I think it can look really ...

To the building managers' credit and Schindler's credit, the issues have been pretty much resolved. They set up a TV screen near the lifts, playing a tutorial on loop about how to use smart lifts (sounds ridiculous, I know. It says things like make sure every passenger requests a lift, but only one ...

Giving the benefit of the doubt, I guess modelling the people movements before the tenants actually move in is an inexact science. It's much better than what it was a few weeks ago. It's just a very annoying thing to deal with day in, day out. Getting to work and getting home to your family are very...

For what it's worth, I think fellow Sensational Adelaide members would want to know what happens when energy efficiency is done poorly. When you request a lift, the wait for one to even arrive can be a minute or more. The afternoon is the worst, when it stops at every floor on the way down, includin...

Adelaide looks great. Whoever lives in the above building will get an excellent view of the construction and the precinct once it's complete.

I'm barracking hard for this to get up. Adelaide's first 'true' skyscraper and its first proper observation deck. I would pay good money to visit it.

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
They're idiots. The quest to 'modernise' it has turned the Myer Centre facade into generic piece of crap. However, I remain grateful that Rundle Mall as a whole is so much better-looking and lively than it was years ago.

I can't say it looks great from a distance or from a high vantage point - it can look stumpy and the glazing doesn't reflect well. However it really shines literally and figuratively when viewed from ground level and it reflects the sky.

Re: News & Discussion: General CBD Development
I think the new cladding for the Suncorp building looks great - that warm grey goes very well. On the other hand, I get that it's still in progress but the Myer Centre renovation is looking hideous (as expected). You might imagine the Ministry of Love looking something like that. Taken today from 60...

As a kid I spent time hanging around O'Connell Street, so it has a special place in my heart, and so does the old Caffe Paesano that closed on that site in 2009. Remember that? The food and atmosphere were fantastic - it was like a kind of less formal Parlamento. I was so sad to see it go, but nothi...

That must be the testing someone referred to earlier in the thread (testing how different finishes would look).
