woodside is at abt level 19 now right? wens it gonna be finished? seems to be taking an awful long time. damn those union strikes.

Yeah level 19. Another 2 or 3 levels and it should break the 100m mark. But slooooooow going on that baby. I guess the size of the floor plates has a lot to do with it too.

October 11th, 2002, 02:20 PM

yeh good point. wat level r they up to wif the glass? is it just the first floor or something. im heading to the city on sunday so i'll try chek it out then.

Being constructed against the Perth Skyline:

It'll be interesting to see if the glass turns out as green/blue as the renderings depict.

October 12th, 2002, 06:49 AM

heopfully it will. it will probably depend on the amount of sunlight it gets eg. if it is shadowed by QV1 or anything. i think it will look good no matter the colour tho.

chrisaus · October 12th, 2002, 07:05 AM

theres already 10m of glass all around the building
the glass looks like a deep blue/green colour

They've started putting it on on the lower levels, it's very blue. Looks nice, although it looks to be a bit darker than the blue in the renderings.

chrisaus · October 12th, 2002, 08:19 AM

it depends on how overcast/sunny it is as to its colour

Homeroids · October 14th, 2002, 12:23 AM

The glass that is there always seems to be in shadow so it may be a few months before we know what it really looks like in the sunlight.

FINALLY, one of the lift cores is going up today as i watch.
its been on 19 for around a month, level 20 seems to be almost flat on 100m , .
another 9 to go

October 23rd, 2002, 01:42 PM

I saw it on Saturday and the core was on 19. It's starting to look more and more like an office tower with the floor plates are up at about 14/15 i think.

October 23rd, 2002, 02:54 PM

ive never been able to picture this building in the skyline for some reason.

its so weird. i hear of new proposals of buildings in brisbane, melbourne etc see a rendering and i immediately hav a rough impression of wat it will look like. but ive never been able to do that with woodside. its so weird! and its my home city too which makes it even worse! oh well i guess ill eventually see it... keyword: eventually...

mike

chrisaus · October 23rd, 2002, 03:01 PM

prob cause the skyline hasn't changed for so long

October 23rd, 2002, 03:05 PM

yeh i guess, but still, i cant wait to see the *new* skyline wif woodside in it!

is woodside going to be blocked by future 239 if that goes ahead?
it would look crap if it is.
