did you know that the bright center part has led strips that changes colors with the top portion, but slower... i didnt know that till yesterday... and this thing now went back to led lighting once again...!

I hope i am not offending anyone but I find Capital Tower kinda ugly and lack aesthetic. It looks like a rocket with flat nose from far. :) Photos are well taken though. Just a personal opinion.

^ no offend to me but not sure about others... to me, it looks like a high-lighter cover... heehee...

The top looks forever u/c. :lol::D:cool:

paisei lar, it was seriously my one sided view. please don't take it too seriously. :)

@redstone: on 2nd look, ur avatar really makes ppl smile. :)

^ why sound so scared that you might offend someone? its totally a personel view weather one likes or dislike a building and he/she got all the rights to voice out why... as long as nothing of vulgarities... :)

I second this ;-)

no lar, just that i have been to quite a few forums and chances that when 9 person said something is good, the 10th person who said it's bad always kena roasted alive even if it is just an honest one person view!!! LOL :) Anyway, let's not digressed too far.

Which is the highest floor in Capital Tower that is freely accessible by public members? I bet it has a good bird eyes' view of Singapore finance district looking fm that angle. :)

I took this a while back...from the 37th floor skylobby.

It does have a nice view :-)

Yes and very comfortable sofas ^ ^

WOW :eek2: This is the first time i see Singapore from this perspective. Very impressive skyline we have. Many thanks, RafflesCity. Is this floor open to public?

^^ Not officially. But if you walk past the information counter and go to take the lift, it's unlikely someone will stop you. Unless it's not office hours maybe ;-)

well yeah...enter at your own risk :P

Glad you like the view :cool:

Dress formally and walk confidently? :lol::D

with the evening arriving and the clouds turning grey, this is the kind of color tone i've got... and of cause with abit of editing...

^^

somehow that angle of the facade reminds me of UOB

Capital Tower and environs from another viewpoint. CT looked somewhat lower
from where I was standing.

Shots from the alley are cool!

Thanks...like Pengui said somewhere...this could be one of the most Singaporean skyscrapers...its coloured top reminds me of ice-kachang :cool:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v427/rotpics03/DSC_1228.jpg

To me it looks very curious... Many styles thrown into one. :lol:

this is what i call, handsome and magnificant.
anyone got the shots for the front plaza, its dragon ballz park!

mysticall and yet contrast to the box shape of the building

Anybody been to the top floor of Capital Tower, the part with the colour-changin lights (China Club)? I was at a press conference at the China Club a couple of weeks ago...well, the place is dissapointing. It was supposed to be a high-flyers' club for the social elite...but yikes, that place is not very well maintained...not very posh in fact. The concierge was so "auntie-uncle"...The food and service...mediocre.

And most tragically...u dont exactly get a good view of the city, i was expecting some sort of observation deck setting...but no, all the windows were laced with some stupid oriental binds...and to my horror, the washing and service area of the club takes up the entire northern facade! So if u use your binos and look into the top floor's northern facade, u'll see nutin but washer ladies and big gigantic fridges.

And i always imagined the China Club to encompass the tall grand glass atrium at the top, with the colour-lightshow projected from inside. But no, dont be fooled...the glass atrium at the top is tragically unutilised. China Club built their own false ceiling that cuts away the glass atrium. So in actual fact, the glass top is nothing but an empty cement void, with absolutely no access.

Yikes.

That sounds disappointing...would be great if they could turn the place into some nice hip club or trendy lounge similar to New Asia Bar

^^ yeah

i hope so

^^ Somehow that landing with the door just makes me drool...

^^

yah I wonder what function the landing serves, or if its just aesthetic

Looks like its just for aesthetic, no railings=no access:(

It's not for aesthetics, it's for the maintenance guy to come change the spotlights I think :-)

quite dramatic for a spotlight location

well if they put some railings it could also serve as a nice corporate balcony! :D

Very nice picture. I browsed to this thread wanting to post a no-frills picture of Captial Towers. After seeing this picture and the earlier one posted by RafflesCity, I think I better keep my photo to myself. :lol:

Please don't :-p
The topic of the forum is not about how good of your photos ! If everyone was thinking like that, there would be only 3 or 4 persons posting pics here ! ;-)

^^

yah agree...for me the focus is not really on the individual, but more on what one has discovered, seen, and captured in pictures that brings about a unique moment, or conveys information on what is actually taking place..."infotainment" :)

Window cleaning crane. :D

The blank wall facade of the part of Capital Tower might suggest that something could be built abutting it in future...but I hope the park stays for as long as possible...the city needs some breathing spaces

Agreed. I walk through it every other day during lunch and it's always very refreshing. They have some strange pillar sculpture things going on there too. Not sure what that's supposed to mean, but..

It would be great if they could also create some waterfall feature there...it would be really relaxing on a hot and dry day....
