Be it high-rise, or low-rise, what buildings that are going up really hurt your eyes?

View Full Version : Worst new building in South Africa dysan1 March 9th, 2006, 08:55 PM Be it high-rise, or low-rise, what buildings that are going up really hurt your eyes? dysan1 March 9th, 2006, 08:58 PM ok the michelangelo is already up, but i cant stand that one...of the ones not yet up i realy dislike The Palms at the point (too bland and oh so dated). Hibernian must be my least favorite high rise tho, its just too confusing to look at, no singular look, it wants to be everything capetown March 9th, 2006, 09:38 PM I like Hibernian Towers, Strand. It's spectacular with the three cones topped with round hats. I think it's the best looking new building for the Strand as it will stand out. What I think looks horrid is the new 70's style Moyeni Tower on Durban's beachfront. It's so monolithic and looks less spectacular than the 40F Mont Blanc which was built in 1985. thryve March 10th, 2006, 04:21 AM Moyeni, Durban - Probably the most outdated looking new apartment development I have seen! Metropolis, Cape Town - Could have been classy, but ended up overdesigned and shamefully ugly and confusing. You are to blame March 10th, 2006, 04:40 AM do you guys have pics of these towers? thryve March 10th, 2006, 05:00 AM Go to the thread LINKS TO DEVELOPMENTS :) You will find everything there... perhaps we should post them in here. -thryve dysan1 March 10th, 2006, 09:13 AM i agree that moyeni is dated, but low and behold they have done ANOTHER redesign! Will put it up Durbsboi March 10th, 2006, 10:23 AM East coast roadio house! such a prime spot of land & wat a crappy small building! hsark March 10th, 2006, 10:33 AM moyeni in durbs for me its dated dysan1 March 11th, 2006, 11:57 AM durbsboi...they had a height limit of 5F on the ECR building thryve March 13th, 2006, 03:46 AM i agree that moyeni is dated, but low and behold they have done ANOTHER redesign! Will put it up oh, do post it in the Moyeni thread!! please! I was hoping they'd redesign it and now my hopes are up :) I hope they start construction ASAP, that is, if the redesign is pleasant. -thryve SA BOY March 13th, 2006, 07:44 AM some of those bland pre graduate designed boxes in Umhlunga ridge. Durbsboi March 13th, 2006, 09:42 AM durbsboi...they had a height limit of 5F on the ECR building theres nothing wrong with the height, its the design, so impractical! the outside looks okay i guess, but inside, yuk! then u have to walk up that unstable steel stair case to the top to find this puny ECR station.

Oh my goodness, monkey see, monkey do! dysan1 April 26th, 2006, 12:12 AM i would have thought the tuscan/med stuff would have stopped by now...why joburg...why!! hsark April 26th, 2006, 01:22 PM there all a bunch of loser cant wait for the style to die .....thenill just have a good laugh tsk joburgers eh? |
