Gosh! This is very wide isn't it? I like the narrower elevation, but its almost a pyramid from the wide side. I suppose its safe to assume this is a result of the architects trying to fit a lot of space into a building that has been capped at a certain height by one or more of the usual suspects during consultation.
Still, I like MAKE's work, so I'm interested to see more.
It's like the bastard child of the Pinnacle and Heron Quays.. It almost looks like it was the same shape as the Pinnacle, but then they 'unrolled' its crown out flat and then concertinaed the whole thing into a new shape.. I think its just a bit too wide for my liking :|
Well, the design is fairly interesting - now, this sort of thing wouldn't look too out of place in the Docklands cluster, maybe Wood Wharf could have something like this instead of bland boxes?
in a way its good to have the height cut down, with the wharf, cross island and market redevelopment towers topping out at about 170-180m, it will add some variety to the area's skyline
chunky, to put it mildly. Doesn't inspire. Vauxhall seems to be getting its fair share of unloved designs.
might we have anyone wittering on about retain the current building for its 'industrial heritage'.
