ARCHIVED-PERTH: Woodside Petroleum Headquarters

[Dilaz89]

why are some queesnslander assholes. sorry i suppose id be an asshole 2 if i had to put up with riparian in my city

[chrisaus]

do you guys live in the eastern suburbs ?

@jayt - "concrete square sections on the left are wrong somehow"
i just wanted to point out they aren't concrete they are metallic looking.....

My above point just goes to show you can't judge anything from a rendering!! That's why I think Waerom is a little premature in his judgement - but that being said I don't really give a F@#* whether he likes it or not, doesn't make any difference to my life...

BTW can we not group perth forumers into a collective stereotype it's not one I'd care to be included in......

Oh yeah, and can people get over Riparian!! U might not like it, u might love it, who cares, its being built now - so deal with it - and lets move on with our lives eh?!?!?

46k of that is office space.
Same floor space as central park/QV1, could have been huge.


JayT there is a big difference between your criticism at waeroms.
His was unconstructive and clearly argumentative unlike yours.

I am argumentitive because i'm trying to point out a fact, a fact which is staring you all little fucks in the face. You are HIPOCRITS. This building may have huge floor plates and lots of glass but the design is tacky and boring. thats what i said. You can suagar coat it all you want and call be a fuckhead till ya face goes blue but i don't give a fuck. You are all a bunch of crying cocksucks who can't deal with critisism. i voiced my opinion about the tower and pointed out a obvious fact that this building, if were being built in Brisbane, would be called exactly what i called it. You are the ones who have blown this argument from a hill into a mountain. The fact that it is your home town, Perth's tallest building in ages is giving you a different perspective on the building. You know i'm right and that is what is pissing you off. the point i made about Riparian was the fact that it had a interesting shape (if veiwed from all angles, even if the facade might look shit) where Woodside's shape is a boring "BOX" design (though the glass facade is good) and the roof design at the top is tacky looking. The comparison was made because You always bitch about Riparian and how shit it looks and how it will ruin Brisbane's skyline. I also know that if Woodside were Brisbane building it would be given the same shit and riddicule, i was trying to show you how you have double standards. But your replys made yourself look like a bunch of insecure cunts cause you all know that it does look tacky, cause why the attack. no Brisbane forumer has chucked such a fucked up, immiture, insecure attack like that when being critised, maybe a light hearted swipe at Perth but neverthis. You's need to chill you cockgoblins

:finger:

[chrisaus]

that concret things at the front looks fucked !!!

There is nothing wrong with woodside!
Its a nice building,it aint the best thing going around but it aint tacky,I think its rather classy!
We cant have a real idea of what it will look like until it is complete,so what has been said that it is crap is totally wrong!
You cant judge it until it has been completed,thats that!

Wait till its finished,then you can pass judgment on it.

love u too WÆROM

mike

waerom are you trying to tell me what I think?
I would think the same of woodside in brisbane or anywhere else.

Hey, Perth can't help it if it has huge resource companies that have established their headquarters there, and require a lot of space.

Because Woodside occupies such a large amount of the tower, of course they want large floorplates, and sure, that does equal a bulky building! Why would you spread your employees over 50 storeys of office space - they would have to keep waiting for lifts just to get to other areas of the company!

Perth is a corporate town, and this is the kind of building you build when you are a major office centre. Brisbane leans a lot more heavily on residential demand to get its towers, and that is why the towers are more slender - people need to live near natural light and ventilation.

Think of the recently constructed office-only Brisbane towers - big fat Queens Square/new BCC HQ, whch I quite like, and that new riverfront 20 storey tower on Eagle St - the one that combines a box with a bit of a curve. Now THAT is a boring and bland and stumpy tower.

200m = stumpy. shit, thats only 20m off Perth's tallest, that must also be "stumpy". may be bland, but has an interesting shape i agree. And if Perth is such a corporate "city" than howcome Brisbane has more office space and office towers than Perth. Brisbane hosts the HQ for some "big" companies"? Brisbane = office towers and residential towers. Perth = office towers. (i'm talking tall ones here)
Yep, Perth must be the centre of business in Australia.
LOL

[fandango]

When you subtract the carpark and apartments from riparian you only get 100m of office tower, which ain't that fantastic. I must admit, I do like how everything matches the carpark section.

[chrisaus]

without WA's resources the eastern states wouldn't need any HQ for aussie companies......

Are you talking about Riparian? Where did I mention Riparian? I quite like it!

By stumpy I meant that fugly little 175 Eagle St building that was recently completed on a prime riverfront site. That is bland and boring.

And no point criticising me when you just go and prove my point! You said: "Brisbane = office towers and residential towers. Perth = office towers."

That's what I said! Perth is a corporate city! I never said that Perth had anymore of anything than Brisbane. I was merely pointing out that Perth is currently constructing predominantly office space, while Brisbane is focussing on residential towers at the moment. Do you disagree?

And you said Perth is the business centre of Australia - I never said anything of the sort.

JAYT only says that stuff cause' he knows that redneck Brizzy will never have a bulding as tall as any of Perth's tallest....NEVER!

Ok, sorry, i thought u were talking about Riparian when u mentioned a boxy tower with a curve at the top on eagle street cause riparian alsomatches those descriptions (boxy at bottom and curvey at the top and is on eagle st.) I do agrees that 175 eagle street was a waste of space. i thought u were also having a shot at it being stumpy cause it wasnt as tall as central park. i'm sorry, i misread it.
the way you worded about perth couldn't help being a corporate city and that brisbane skyline relied heavily on residential , i mistook as you saying Perth's towers were mainly office and Brisbane mainly residential.
the part about perth being business capitalf australia was me being a smart arse and throwing in a sarcastic comment.

Maybe you have been living under a rock.......

........... ever heard of "Emerald Tower" ?



It's taller than Perth's tallest, not by much but still taller.

yeah..my mistake...i meant to say 'quality'.....which is something brizzies talls are seriously lacking

it's taller than 249? and even going ahead?

yeah well...if Waeorm says it's going ahead it must be...he is the one that just 'corrected' my post! or are you actually wrong?

Umm, when did Central Park go under a refubishment and extend itself another 20 something metres? last time i checked it was 226m
