The design is, put simply, shit-house! They are doing a feature of this development on the RealEstate Program on Saturday morning, 9:00am. I think they have a close affiliation with the MarkHay RealEstate Company.

its by the same developer as the kingstone on hay

pulse just down the road has started construction
with zone 3 being demolished

the only good thing about the development is its selling well

Justme I believe "paris end" was used to signify the area with more class/style.

riiiiight... anyway moving right along....

the 'paris end' (btw y is it called that?) is really sweet. its like totally not what i expected to be in practically the heart of perth.

i kno just abt everyone hates it but i dont and im happy its being built. at least this thing has windows unlike lump of crap called the Telstra Tower.

that statton is damn ugly.... just a concrete piece of shit.... they shoudl do something like the box building... that is very classy.. i think they need to put some more glass on it... teh statton that is
here is a pic of the kingstone on hay... by same developer, it was completed a few months ago...

Is it just me or is this building totally ugly? Why don't they just rebuild Dunlop House? Or at least build in the same style as the old building. It would fit the area so much better and be much nicer I think.

chrisaus
March 1st, 2003, 05:47 PM
no its not just you
its fucken ugly, and thats the rendering, they usually turn out 100 times worse !!!!
though there are positives in this development, like its not on the terrace

Justme:

"Paris end" is just a way of describing an area that is 'happening. Of course we aren't insecure enough or arrogant enough to believe that this insignificant building in Perth ranks with the majestic beauty of Paris.

It's actually a compliment to Paris in a way since it is an expression used based on the 'fame' of Paris. It might help you to read between the lines and understand what a metaphore is.

"Paris End" is also used to describe a part of Melbourne.

chrisaus
March 4th, 2003, 01:39 PM
works are progressing extremily fast, site works are already well under way, so there's already pleanty to watch if your in town, also the pulse building should be getting a crane soon whats next door, so i should be a nice little collection of cranes
also once statton grows they will have to get a tower crane because i don't think those small ones can go to high

Orodreth
March 8th, 2003, 12:06 PM
"Paris End" is just a wanker term for classy. Justme you just gotta use wanker words sometimes. I dunno why some ppl get so thingy over it..sheesh.

Anyway that building does look like a hospital, but I suppose you can't be too picky in Perth, it is 19, pretty high for the current building standards of Perth.

Homeroids

It's significant for that part of town but nothing special.

not getting picky, but you can't judge a whole part of the town on one pic, i know what you were doing and it was very amusing [not], its the same as melbournes 'paris end' just throw a few trendy shops in and lable it paris to try and sell a few apartment

Ok first of all that pic posted of Statton is totally out of proportion. Check out the site to see it's actual size http://www.statton.com.au/ [still ugly though;) ]
This is why they call it the Paris end of Perth...this street is near the the statton site.

Now can we picture this street somewhere amongst that smog maybe???:)

March 18th, 2003, 10:25 AM
i found an article yesterday that was several month old and it said 70 units had sold, so i would say it would almost be sold out by now. this is great news as it shows developers that theres strong demand in the westend of the CBD, hopefully we will see a major development on the syneregy site [gobbles nightclub site]

i got a thing in the mail about this project, and also kingstone aswell when that was being marketed, it was random marketing, good to see them going to those efforts because its resulted in strong sales

NZer
March 18th, 2003, 12:23 PM
I thought Synergy was already being developed into something?

Also,what is up with Orchard or whatever it's called.It's on SS.com as being approved.I think its on the cnr of Milligan and Wellington Sts,about 9 - 10 levels.

chrisaus

The more I look at the rendering of Statton,the better it looks.You gotta remember it will be a 21st century construction and ya can't picture it as a 60's box.

perthguy78
March 19th, 2003, 04:06 PM
u think it looks good?? how about some more glass and colour... then it would look more modern... it is an ugly design... totally out of place with the image that the west end of perth is trying to create..
u wanna see a 21st century aptment tower?? look across the road to the box building... fuckin awesome!
Shame Statton Shame!...........

Homeroids
July 27th, 2003, 05:46 AM
Another reason why Stratton is going to look good is because of it's proximity to the Telstra box. Any building next to that is gotta look pretty plus due to the location being of the Trc, it will stand out nicely expecially as depicted in that shot on the freeway by Damien.

I've always thought that rounded semi triangular 3-4 storey building at the North end of Milligan St,visible in your first pic there would be good for a high rise.

Is the last pic from a carpark?

Core boxes are still on. I would estimate (and hope for) another 3 rises. Should then have a very nice impact. Already clearly visible driving down to the City from King's park. Skyline depth!

chrisaus
April 3rd, 2004, 06:34 AM
its now highly visable from woodside plaza's public sqaure, I would say its toped out or very close to it, that should shut up all the people who were bitching about how slow its going! lets hope the westralian can follow!

one thing that perth lacks is enough lights.. like billboards and signs on the buildings.. now that the hartleys and the citibank signs are gone it needs a few more...

Dilaz89
April 3rd, 2004, 07:52 AM
citibank moved to chancery hse and took the lights with them but because of the lack of height, they are hardy visible. i too would love to see more lights in the cbd.

also AMP lights are to go soon :(

oh fuck.... so the only talls with signs on will be Allendale sq, st martins tower and bankwest

the new citibank building is so small no one can see it... i think the council should relax their policy on signs and allow companies to pay for advertising on the building... i dont want it to turn into hong kong but it does give the city more class, especially when people can see international companies having their logo on the towers...

chrisaus

Dilaz89
April 3rd, 2004, 04:20 PM
i cant picture having anymore neon sinage for now on the talls but i beleve they should illuminte something on the roof eg. old citibank should illuminate their triangular pyrimid sorta like qv1 and some buildings should do a better job at illuminating spires like bankwest. who can remember the days where st martings facade was illuminated? why did it stop

chrisaus
April 3rd, 2004, 05:19 PM
the city of perth have a new sign policy, im pretty sure its progressive towards signs, though dont expect las vegas and times squared styled as they arn't allowd signs to be to stimulating as it will distract drivers etc.. and the policy makes sure ugly scafolding and stuff doesen't hold up the sign. you can read the policy on the cities website www.perth.wa.gov.au

got sum pics today, will post once edited but photo impact is playing up so it may take awhile. the north core is at lv 17 so about 2 lvs to go inc plant/roof and the south core has topped out i think because they started building the floorplate up to it so they are probably just waiting for it to set before dismantling the core.

I doubt u would get in much trouble for sneaking into a building.

all your doing, at worst, is tresspassing. And im sure all would happen is theyd ask u what uw ere doing and u just tell them u wanted some photos and theyll get over it

some get pissed like this otha day in amp where this lady was givin me a lecture so i just pressed door close on the lift and she was still ranting on about calling security ect... i made a run for it before anyone could get me tho. fuck i reckon i could write a book about going up tall buildings. it really is an art in itself!:D

i never really did think of the terrorism point of view when it comes to letting people in buildings. I dont think it should bea problem if they have adequete security though.
