9/10

i like the setbacks that everyone else hates. the curvature is nice and i like the way the crown is light at night.

however, i dont like the spire. it is saved some by the way it looks from the beach but i still dont really like spires that arent in the center of the building. also the spire seems to big for this building. i also don't like the way the crown looks during the day and this contributes to the weird size of the spire.

^ the massive 110 tonne-93m spire was to be worlds longest at 170m. It was to start way down at lev50. but it was halved in length, maybe due to being pretty silly waste of $$.It originally was approved at 298m high which was heiht limit for Godl coast. But Sunland aplied for height extension and extended the spire another 25m to reach 322.5m.not sure why. it was already higher then Eureka by 70cm.

Having seen this tower in the flesh, I think it looks a bit stumpy...like it should have been another 50 metres higher or something...and I don't really like the cladding that much either. 7/10
