Re: Skylines Outside of Australia
I have a whole stack of Tokyo photos from 2017. I'll sort through and upload them when I can!

[APP] Re: 75-79 King William Street | 132m | 39 Levels | Mixed
I'm hoping this delay in starting this will mean the design will be revisited and this building will be bumped up in height to be Adelaide's tallest. I heard this will have an observation deck on the roof, and given the design and location of it, it seems it will have good design merit to be Adelaid...

I don't think this building is particularly dreadful, but I do find it a let down. I am amazed at how different it looks from the renders, apart from the height and the podium, the "form" is completely different. I hope as other buildings are built around it, and as Adelaide continues to b...

Surely whoever set up this light display had a sense of self criticism and would have thought "No, this is not a good look"

[COM] Re: Adelaide Oval Hotel
I have to say that ground level doesn't have much height clearance? I always thought enetering the foyer of a hotel should have high ceilings, creating a feeling of space and luxury? Also, I do not understand this timber box thing? Maybe I need to read over the BCA and NCC, but I'd be pretty uncerta...

It was originally designed by Bates Smart, I believe Architectus is on it now - If it is anything like there interstate/international projects, we are in fr a treat... Where did you hear this? Can't find anything online discussing the change. Word of mouth in the industry really. It's not really my...

Re: News & Discussion: CBD Retail
I have recently been to Melbourne and Sydney. Melbourne Central had 4 or so floors, with the top two floors acting as a place for higher quality eating such as TGIF Fridays, Nandos, Entertainment with a cinema on top. The rest of the floors are filled with shopping, with an atrium running through th...

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)
I've rather warmed to the idea of an Australian Aboriginal gallery. A contemporary gallery looks great on paper, but how many like it already exist in Australia and the world? At least with this gallery it achieves two things: 1. it's a national/international first in terms of how it will represent...

[SWP] Re: Lot 14 (Old RAH Site)
I don't understand why we aren't building the Contemporary Art Gallery that won the competition last year? That had sensitivity to the Indigenous and would be such an architectural highlight in comparison to whatever this upsidedown triangle is!

I don't know if this sounds silly or not, but has anyone wondered if the Westpac Building may actually be taller than 132m? Compared to Adelaidian, it just seems to have a taller presence to me?

Adelaidian is looking crazy tall coming from the south at the moment! Realm is a little bit behind but looking great!!! So exciting to see the skyline forming!

I would love to see a tall building on this site, a 109m building here would truly be something to see coming along North Terrace, especially if it revitalises the heritage building below, and encourages everyone to use it! Reopen Club 199 as some kind of Family restaurant or bar, and somehow networ...
