Vancouver's Future Renderings

dleung · April 19th, 2008, 03:36 AM

The Toronto forum has one, so I thought we should have one too. Vancouver's sexy skyline in a couple years:

By me:

Additions from left to right: Jameson House, Fairmont Pacific Rim, Hotel Georgia, Ritz Carlton, West Pender Place

I'm going for realism, so I try to use angle-appropriate renders or ones easily tweaked... This one only has hotel georgia and capitol residences

Reality sort of caught up with these ones:

so to keep one step ahead:

Finally just for fun:

Very impressive. Great work. Love it.

Dleung, you are a f...... genius, I just fall in love with that super tall RC. See, don't you think now downtown looks great with a 1000' tall tower?

mr.x · April 19th, 2008, 07:33 AM

I'm not for a 1000 footer, but certainly Ritz Carlton should've been taller! something like 700 to 750 feet.

dleung · April 19th, 2008, 07:57 AM

I actually think a building like Shangri-la, with its clean monolithic rectangular form, fits best as the tallest building in Vancouver, and provides a subtle backdrop for other buildings. The fancy twisty buildings are striking enough without being tall.

***deasine*** · April 19th, 2008, 08:04 AM

Then it would've been better for Shangri-La to be a little taller. 70-79 floors would be nice.

I just think the floor difference between Sahngri-La and Ritz Carleton a little too little.

Btw, dleung, check ur inbox.

When I was going over to Vancouver from Nanaimo on the ferry, you can see Shangri-la very well. From the view, it's so beautiful. I can't wait to see what it'll look like in 5 years.

Well one thing for sure, the Shangri-la would look better if it was a hundred feet taller.

Taller is always better!

Is there anyone that could perhaps do a render of splicing in buildings from other cities? Like how would we look if we had the HK convention center where our VCCEP is? Or how about some other famous buildings?

Just a 'what if' type of render....

Franky · April 19th, 2008, 06:20 PM

I agree; the Ritz Carlton could use an extra 100-200 feet on it. In my opinion, it's a fantastic design but it deserves more.

Thanks for the photos. Its great that the Vancouver skyline is finally get some height.

officedweller · April 21st, 2008, 05:52 AM

Great renders. Thanks.

BTW - look whose views the Amacon Building will block (I know this isn't the right tower, but the location is correct):

Enjoy

Included Capitol Res, Jameson House, Georgia, Fairmont, Ritz Carlton

Someone might want to stick this on SSP's shangri-la thread to appease alexYVR

***Yellow Fever*** · April 29th, 2008, 07:42 AM

Well done again, dleung! But I am a little bit picky this time....Sorry.

First the spacing between the SL and RC is slighly too wide and the Georgia is 156m but it looks like it is more than 165 m.

dleung · April 30th, 2008, 09:39 AM

I wish Georgia was that height though, lol
Fixed, with Patina added.

***Yellow Fever*** · April 30th, 2008, 04:56 PM

Me too! now the render is perfect, thanks!

dleung · January 23rd, 2009, 09:13 AM

new render by me:

***Yellow Fever*** · January 23rd, 2009, 09:18 AM

Well done! Hope the RC will be built!

With this future skyline, downtown sure look a little bit like New York.
