Now this is just MY opinion, I dont like that building, i think it looks ugly, it has a HUGE flat white side that makes the building so boring, the only thing i like on it is the front, but other then that it's ugly.

Strange

the balcony is cool but nohing special besides that

6/10 those wavy balconies might produce some interest in others, but not for me

I quite like this one! The reason why there is a huge blank wall is so that one day on the block next door, a scraper can be built right against it.

I only like the front>>>balconies,the side is no sight at all

too white, the balconies are original,but it would have to be higher. 6/10

5.5/10

Not bad.

7/10

looks too close to the building infront of it..so it would have a sucky view..
it looks ok 6.5/10

Seilder is.....repetative. The colour on the sides of the balconies is a little different though.

7/10

I give it an 8 for the brilliant balcony.

Yeh, Seidler sure likes his wave shapped balconies, although the splashes of colour in the form of the glass privacy screens is certainly a deviation from is other apartment towers. I like it. 7.5/10

Wavy balconies and these colorful glass privacy screens make this building quite interesting. 9/10

From ground level this looks good but there is some idea of cheapness in it. 6/10

I love this building. As you look up from the street the balconies look evermore wavy and intertwined as you reach the top, but front on, they are all the same. Optical illusion. As for the critism of the blank side - remember that it was probably because the site next door is likely to be developed.

5/10 or even less

5/10

Ugly building in an ugly area of the Sydney CBD.

I don't think it's very original. It struck me as some kind of weird wavey Seidler version of Unite d'Habitation. Well, colour wise at least.

The balconies are very good, but the other face of the building is plain concrete, so.

6/10.

^^ It's actually painted & not plain (bare) concrete and the reason being is that an approved 17-level serviced apartment building is going to flank it @ 83 Goulburn Street (http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=327973) <--- Click on this link to understand more.

Ah! Well that explains it. Thanks for the information Muse.

Well taking that into account I would change my vote to 8.5 if I could. :)
