CHapmaN April 23rd, 2004, 12:29 PM AMP Place
Brisbane, Australia
HEIGHT: 135m
FLOORS: ?
COMPLETION: 1977
ARCHITECT: Peddle Thorp and Harvey
Many consider this Brisbane's first landmark scraper and was the city's tallest upon completion. Know locally as the "Gold tower" the glass on this building is a golden colour not usually seen on scrapers. It was also the first modernist "glass box" to be built in Brisbane and remains one the finest skyscrapers in the city's "Golden triangle".

AtlanticaC5 April 23rd, 2004, 02:54 PM 7.5/10 The shape and facade is nice, even though I think it would look better "glass-coloured", not gold

most of my votes go to the reflective gold glass, even more points if its twin - Comalco place were still gold. At one stage they were both golden! It reminds me of Mandalay Bay one of my favourite buildings in the world.
I thought they were designed by Peddle, Thorp and Walker same as Gateway Plaza another of my favourites. It is also sometimes known as AMP Centre from what I can make out.

Nice colour but the overall design is pretty ordinary.
JDRS March 25th, 2005, 03:08 PM I like the glass, and it looks very modern, but I don't like the base, and the shape isn't great either.

Perth4life14 April 23rd, 2005, 08:35 AM woah 9/10! such sexy glass!
nikko April 23rd, 2005, 02:18 PM I love the reflective glass...but not a big fan of the design. Only because it has a twin I gave it a 9 :D
otherwise it would have been an 8.

Oriolus August 3rd, 2005, 04:11 AM Despite what the photos in this thread might suggest, AMP only appears gold under certain conditions. Most of the time its just regular blue glass but still no less impressive:
