Here are some status pics from yesterday! Good perspective shot.. i was at a function at burswood! Great angle from here

Bullswool · August 14th, 2007, 02:56 AM

Thanks for the updates! I drove past these the other week, first time ever, and i was surprised at how much of an impact they make on the surrounding area, they seem so big (when i suppose they aren't really)

***Dilaz89*** · August 17th, 2007, 09:36 AM

Aqua has topped out and tower 5, to be known as 'Aquarius' will be launched later on this year. It is 12st and will sit next to aqua.

When this proposal first came out, I thought it would take a life time if that, for this entire development to be completed..Now it's only a few years off. Also I, and I'm sure a few of us) thought this may take away inner city apartment developments..HoLly how wrong were we:p

FORM are right on the ball. Now is the time for Perth to make the Real changes!!

I'm not sure about this last time I drove post there was only one and the second just starting but seeing them together and I assume the others are the same but of varying heights I begin to dislike them.
Reminds me of a program I saw this week where this architect was traveling around Paris saying the low cost housing of the 50's was so crap with it's ugly identical boxes sitting all alone compared to the attractive low cost housing of the 20's clustered together ( giving the same density as the higher uglier 50's designs)

They need to connect as complex if they are going to be the same or look like an ugly row of dated boxes in 20 years time.

Perth4life · August 18th, 2007, 05:08 PM

i think the low rise surrounding it will be fine, these apartments arn't cheap either and the ones in Crawley havn't dated and the tallest ones are getting quite old now.

Direwolf modernist blocks are back in fashion with all the goods of new construction methods.

stadiumdesigner · August 19th, 2007, 09:30 AM

fvck they're shockers...

Perth4life · September 3rd, 2007, 02:02 PM

from font on they look melbournish but i think the backs are too bland

NZer · September 3rd, 2007, 02:17 PM

Well put.

Yeah from the back they are pretty bad

Ipggi · September 3rd, 2007, 02:28 PM

Don't really look Melbournish to me, and I am sure most Melbourne forumers would agree. They look like generic golf resort apartments, oh wait they are!

***Dilaz89*** · September 3rd, 2007, 02:40 PM

Their bleak design would actually suit Melbourne moreso than Perth IMO. I agree about the golf resort part though.

Perth4life · September 3rd, 2007, 02:45 PM

i meant from this angle

they look like something in southbank

They are lower quality versions of the Mirvac towers in Melbourne. The ones in Melbourne are also generic.
