genuine - 8.5/10

BTW- 75 floors and 'only'

255 m tall?

January 23rd, 2004, 07:45 PM

Decent but unspecial and it certainly needs the holes.

6.5/10

One of my favorite residential tower, I love how it lights up at night as well. 9/10

I like the looks of it in the 3rd pic, but it looks way too fat.

Unique and impressive, a bit intimidating. Looks like an accordian.

Massive, the facade is nice.

Sheeeeer. Pretty cool and massive but Sorrento towers are cooler. 8.5/10

Aquarius · February 7th, 2004, 07:20 PM

Too broad, I do not like much 6,5/10

james2390 · February 8th, 2004, 02:36 AM

Very Nice, 8/10

Style™ · February 8th, 2004, 03:01 AM

It looks nice in the rendering. Then again, all buildings do. I do not like what it is surrounded by either. It also does not look that tall and slighly dirty.

Oh well, based only on the building...7.5/10

Liz L · February 13th, 2004, 01:58 AM

6.5/10 - Odd.....very odd.....
I like the contrest between the light trim and the blue of the windows, and the shallow indentations running up the sides should do interesting things with light and shadow. I also like the nice, shiney glass facade, and the wider pillars along the base are a good contrast to the thin white trim above.

But - I'm not sure about that "comb" along the roof line, or the "awning" above the base (though at least they match each other), and the building, broadside on, is so bulky that it kills the heght...It looks like it's an imitation of Pelli's Sea Hawk (if I have the name right) resort, but somehow doesn't quite make it...

Wow

This skyscraper is freaking massive as hell.And i even like this!Cool design!

8.0/10

Miami-esque holes in Hong Kong:

Massive yet attractive on the outside. I bet the apartments inside are rabbit hutches, yet it is 'Honkers'.

I like the green glass cladding and the canpoy features surrounding the crown. Nice ellipitical shape too.

I don't really like the narrow slab-like shape too much. It is sort of a nice bldg though. The holes are neat.
