What does everyone think about colouring the actual concrete mix with oxide and then you would get a concrete thats already coloured? maybe a dark grey or black purple what ever? has this been done before?
just imagine results with changing oxide tones as bldg rises? lots of ideas?

You have alot of contacts dont you? I suggest you tell them your idea. Would be cheaper right from the source and probably wouldnt ware as much ether.

stucco... anybody??

Walking past Charlotte Towers a few days ago, I noticed that it seems alot 'bulkier' than Festival. So it should make quite a good impact on the skyline.

KJBrissy · July 31st, 2006, 12:52 AM

Good to see we should have another darker looking building in the CBD. They are few and far between.

I don't want to jump in too early like I did with Bris Sq but this is looking good.

CULWULLA · July 31st, 2006, 01:11 AM

does anyone know what bldg is next door to Charlotte? next too AXA?
just so i can work out height when it approaches it.

KJBrissy · July 31st, 2006, 01:15 AM

Is that not the Energex Headquaters @ 23 storeys??

Brissy4me · July 31st, 2006, 02:03 AM

Yes, you can see from my photos a few days ago the energex sign at the bottom next door.

CULWULLA · August 1st, 2006, 04:50 AM

thanks. went up a floor today. so i guess lev18 in box.
the energex bldg is 80m,and core is currently equal to 6 energex levels below LMR, so about 60m high.
cheers

KJBrissy · August 1st, 2006, 04:56 AM

You should tell the height of the energex building to Emporis!

CULWULLA · August 2nd, 2006, 03:14 AM

Couple more from today.

First one is looking down Charlotte Street at the side of the building. I guess they figure that there will be a redevelopment of the adjacent carpark at some time in the future.

CULWULLA · August 6th, 2006, 09:26 AM

cool shots. looks like 16 resi levels + the 3level podium=19 lev/57m.

***BrizzyChris*** · August 6th, 2006, 09:48 AM

This facade is actually looking really good now. Devine might not disappoint for once.

SoulvisionQ1 · August 6th, 2006, 12:15 PM

Yeah i am starting to like it... Has anyone seen the new "festival tower" light at the top yet? i saw it in the day...

Malt · August 6th, 2006, 12:25 PM

Its looking sexy, they just need to paint the walls black!!

Looking at the window frames and the areas around them, theyre already black, so it might be going that way

Maroon Grown · August 6th, 2006, 12:55 PM

for the moment this devine job is looking ok. hope its not a flop like festival. it does have those consatina balcony windows though.

Brissy4me · August 7th, 2006, 08:10 AM

This one is zooming up!!! Are they forgetting to let the concrete dry?
