Nice, but I don't really like the pinnacle thing.

Still 8/10 though

Bob di Gills · September 28th, 2002, 10:27 PM

Nope, don't like

5/10

Winus · September 30th, 2002, 01:15 PM

7.0 Not bad, only the white rectangular part should have been sloped or something like that.

September 30th, 2002, 03:31 PM

What the? My Skyscrapers of Asia and Australia book says that the shape of BNI City Tower's top was inspired by a boat sail, not a fountain pen!

I never heard of it being called a boat sail...That is interesting, Damien.

All I know that it is supposed to resemble a Fountain Pen coz a lot of Indonesians here call it "gedung pena" which means pen building or Fountain pen building. And i heard from developers that it is a fountain pen resemblence. I also heard Parker Pen is one of the major tenants...

Love the birhgt facade and curves of this building.

9/10

ryanr · October 20th, 2002, 11:16 AM

Ough! I just went inside the building the other week and it's terrible!! The interior is ugly!! It looks like a cheap low cost lobby for a low cost apartment....

It is currently the tallest in Jakarta and Indonesia.
Nice building, but i kinda wish there was more density around it. It looks taller than it actually is. I know that coz i drive by it every week!! In fact, Jakarta needs a more clustered skyline...

I rate it 8/10. Looks really cool in person!! Way better than in pics coz you can see the detailing so much clearer.... looks normal

JinStuttgart · October 20th, 2002, 11:46 PM

I don`t like it at all, 3/10

SUNNI · October 21st, 2002, 11:44 AM

9, it sorta looks like the Q1

***SeeMacau*** · November 2nd, 2002, 09:30 AM

i give it 8 out of 10

November 10th, 2002, 05:33 AM

I like the style.

I'll give it a 9/10

Jeff from Winnipeg · November 11th, 2002, 03:13 AM

This building does seem kinda "awkward" but it is quite different. ->7.5/10

Liz L · November 11th, 2002, 06:39 PM

6.5/10 - The building has good height, and I like the glass section of the facade, but the shape of the top part, especially that liittle spire on top, might take a bit of getting used to. And the rest of the facade is rather dull - I think they should have used glass all the way down.

Caledon1981 · November 14th, 2002, 10:18 PM

somehow i missed this thread .. but i think this is a great tower but they could have gone at least 10 more floors to give it a better impact. .. . 7/10

Bobdreamz · December 14th, 2002, 10:00 AM

the shape of this is certainly interesting however the white facade is to overpowering..it seems to completely encasse the glass portion of the tower...not bad though...8/10 for originality!

February 14th, 2003, 02:52 AM

Yes, the top of this building is supposed to represent a BOat Sail. Why? because BNI's (Bank Nasional Indonesia) logo is a boat sail.....and why has it fot 46 floors? cos BNI was established in 1946. Get it?!
