Awesome. Love the design.

Now just another to come in south of Euro tower to rid us of that obscene blank wall.

What's the grey one beside Euro Tower in the first model photo?

Dimethyltryptamine · March 7th, 2011, 12:05 AM

I like it. Shame it isn't taller.

Every time I trot along Bathurst Street I wonder what became of this one because it's been approved - over a year ago, I think.

55m seems very popular height around this area.

Tony Owen is popping up everywhere these days: must be the flavour of the month.

CULWULLA · March 7th, 2011, 01:29 AM

55m is height limit for that block

Mornnb · March 7th, 2011, 12:44 PM

Brilliant. Why can't we have 200m towers of this quality!
Also, what's the reason for the low height limit of 55m??

CULWULLA · March 7th, 2011, 01:06 PM

maybe the 55m height is ecause of low street scape or shadows impact on hyde park

Sky_Is_The_Limit · March 7th, 2011, 02:37 PM

Am I the only one who doesn't like it? To me it is overcomplicated and the colour scheme is a mess. Maybe it's just the renders are poor??

Fabian · March 7th, 2011, 08:26 PM

The warped facade is fine with me. Out of the three proposed on the block, this is my favourite.

CULWULLA · March 8th, 2011, 04:30 AM

its better then whats there now

Mornnb · March 8th, 2011, 05:19 AM

Sydney needs more architecture like this, I love it's unconventional beauty! I wish Sydney was this brave with the designs for 150m and 200m towers.
Look at what they're doing in New York today:

That beautiful tower by j nouvell was cut 200 ft or 60 metres so it wouldn't be as tall as esb or Chrysler. It's a shame. It has so much potential to be the iconic ny building of this generation

Brizer · March 15th, 2011, 03:36 AM

Sustained nimby attack. Mindless.

Mornnb · March 15th, 2011, 08:10 AM

Shame even NYC has to put up with NIMBYs.

nameless dude · March 15th, 2011, 10:17 AM

Hehe Jean Nouvel must have a thing for gardens on scrapers. He's doing this here at One Central Park and there at NYC. But damn... that thing's beautiful... just like his other buildings

Trances · March 16th, 2011, 02:48 PM

Wow, hard to belive any of those NYC towers are real!
