Ivan April 21st, 2003, 02:41 AM I like it. Looks like a water tower. 8.5/10
Bobdreamz April 21st, 2003, 03:18 AM the design is ok.. it looks like it needs a crown or spire to breaK up the bulkiness of the top...overall 7.5/10....ice to see new highrises in africa.. is this the tallest..?
RafflesCity April 21st, 2003, 06:38 AM 7/10
Congrats Napptown:cool:
Its not powerful looking enough, although the glass is a safe choice.

@Raffles, have you made a thread about this building?

Hacksaw April 21st, 2003, 12:30 PM Not bad... Not bad at all!
7/10
baqthier April 21st, 2003, 12:40 PM great! Zimbabwe kicks! :D 8.5/10
And the top part resembles one of my fave building in NA. I forgot the name, something like "Mellon..."
Jasonhouse April 21st, 2003, 06:06 PM Not bad, but its design isn't really indicative or the architectural trends associated with the mid to late 90's. It looks more like something that we would have seen in the early to mid 80's, so it's a bit "dated" IMO. It looks like it has a large, spacious atrium though.
7.0/10
SteelCity32 April 21st, 2003, 06:41 PM Wait, wasn't there another African ROT...one in Johannesburg?
7/10
X-seed 4000 April 21st, 2003, 11:54 PM Ehh... it's nothing really special. 5.5/10
Wu-Gambino April 22nd, 2003, 01:48 AM This is the first ROT in the Open Forum.
This is the first real African ROT:#173 - Carlton Centre, Johannesburg (http://skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35916)

Surprising
Kaneda November 9th, 2003, 08:34 PM 7.5/10 ... Its needs some spire or something, and the cladding is a bit boring.
