As the case is with almost every skyscraper, the render is far better than the real thing. The spire is too big also. 7.5

This building looks great in the skyline. One of the best (if not the best) in Sydney. Very original like most of Fosters buildings. 10

Really stands out amongst the otherwise ordinary skyscrapers in its vicinity. Could even become something of an iconic building in time. This is the most exiciting recent building in Sydney and deserves far more accolades than it has received. It also looks amazing from the eastern shore of Farm Cove.

I HATE the dark glass as it makes the building look so UGLY!!!

I think that the building's spire and whole crown is far to big but would've looked much better in the original design (which was exactly the same only the tower was twice as tall). The tower was halved in height because of the height restrictions on its sight.

love the atrium though...

probably Australia's finest office tower. It actually has an inside as well as exterior architecture. seems lightyears ahead of previous office blocks. ive taken a trip up lift and twas an awesome experience.The fittings, cladding,structure,space is exceptional.

needless to say

couldn't the habitable part of the tower gone further into the spire? I think that would've looked far better. 7/10

Im sorry if this has already been mentiond and im not certain its true but
APARENTLY the spire is too big because it was originally designd to be taller but got scaled down because it would create too much shadow over State Library and Parliament.

Also, its the second tallest building in the world with fewer than 40 floors
