Pearlbank Apartment - Page 3

Maybe they should reclad it in dark black glass!

Hmmm, as a non-Architect, I do see a striking resemblance between the facade of Pearlbank (first picture) and the Pinnacle@Duxton (newspaper ad scanned by babystan on page 18 entry #354). I especially like the "simmering" effect. Just a thought.

It would be great if somebody would post a pic of the interior of a unit. I saw the original brochure of this building somewhere on the net (do a google search on it) and the design of the units looked very nice indeed.

here we go:

Groovy baby! Yeah!

Oh yeah.....if you didnt mention it, I wont have noticed it. And come to think of it, both are quite close to each other!

Oh man...... The rooms look like that?!

kevinp · July 8th, 2004, 01:12 PM

that was the original show flat from when they started selling the apartments in '72 i think. I really like the layout.

I'd like to see a typical unit in its current-day condition, though.

It looks to me that this building's exterior doesn't do justice to the nice layouts of the units.

Cool pics kevinp!

yes, the interior design looks typically 70s with those colours.

agree..also the view from up there is really refreshing!

Don't know lah. The building still looks like an eyesore to me. Maybe i'm just to used to shiny glass towers....

I wonder if you'll like it if they decide to reclad the building with glass.....

RafflesCity · September 12th, 2004, 04:28 PM

It would look like another Glass Hotel then (now the Concorde Hotel)

Lovely facade

heirloom · October 21st, 2004, 09:27 AM

uh.. didnt know there was so much detail.

as lovely as abigail.

eyetoeye · October 21st, 2004, 11:49 AM

A monolith of a structure indeed. It needs a new paint job though. That's undeniable.....

heirloom · October 21st, 2004, 12:05 PM

paint will not do it good.. it needs cladding!

eyetoeye · October 21st, 2004, 12:20 PM

Let's see it in glass and titanium...

The grey building on the left.

Magician · September 21st, 2005, 09:51 AM

OH that is the one... Thank you very much... very helpful...

Is it a HDB or Condo?

rark · September 21st, 2005, 09:53 AM

Condo

rark · September 21st, 2005, 09:57 AM

hyacinthus · September 21st, 2005, 10:08 AM

erm... technically speaking, it is a private apartment which does not have full facilities of a condo.
