Actually it might be just one meter but its a better design.

Yer - there is one on Albert Street (Royal Albert Hotel).

ppfftt 2 metres.

It seems to be a lot more interesting design wise, split up into segments...much heavy use of glass and metal panels rather than the excessive concrete of the orginal. And slightly taller....can't complain I suppose.

Good find JayT

It does look better, but the floor-to-floor height on this thing is ridiculous. I would have to walk around on my knees.

student accomodation lol

short students perhaps

metropole has 2 car lifts

Haha, I'm surprised you remembered.

lets all reminice over a game of backgammon and whisky shots

so guys. what height should this one been known as?
height from rear-37 levels/107m
or
height from main entrance-34 levels/98m
If you think higher stats, well that means when its drawn up as a diagram it has to be drawn as viewed from rear! as it wont make sense drawn from front elevation.

depends.
Are the floors 35-37 full floors? and theyre just undreground when viewd from the front?

If so yes, include them. If theyre only half floors (while i type this im thinking its pretty stupid to consider there being half floors in skyscrapers but ill type it all out anyway) then no nit shouldnt be

The first 3 floors cant be seen from front elevation (as there underground) but viewed from rear you can see them.
the building is actually built from Arch lane

& Courier MailBit confused...this proect according to Ausilencer has been approved but the link he provided via Orfeo seems to say something on completely different project....

Am I missing something here?
