Are you trying to post via photo bucket EBG?

[Algernon]

I had the same problem. The upload function doesn't work on the forum anymore. I registered an account on Imgur instead.

“Bohem” Apartments Top Out Over Adelaide

31st July 2017 | Category: Architecture, Commercial, Companies, Construction, New Developments, News, Residential, SA, Town Planning | Staff Writer






South Australia’s latest apartment building, “Bohem” by Adelaide-based Starfish Developments, was celebrated with a traditional topping out ceremony last week.
The custom of “topping out” has its roots in Europe and America when tree branches or flags were laid on newly completed roofs as a symbolic gesture to bring good luck and health to the building’s residents.
Ken McLeavey, senior project manager for Maxcon, the construction company building the apartments, takes great pride in carrying through the ritual – and this occasion was marked by hoisting a large pine tree to the 23rd floor.
“The event marked a significant milestone for Maxcon and Bohem, reaching the highest point on the project. It was an opportunity for us to thank the whole team involved especially the structural trades for their achievement and the huge effort involved,” McLeavey said.

The $110 million Bohem project is on schedule to be completed by the first quarter of 2018.


Building facts and figures
Approximately 280,500 individual working hours
6621m3 concrete poured
600 precast panels used in building the floors and walls
1100 tonnes of reinforcement
35000m2 of formwork
2890lm piling for the building foundations
151 tonnes structural steel
22,336m partitions and ceilings
600 tonnes plasterboard, 70 tonnes of rondo wall frames
4882m2 of windows
 

Designed by Enzo Caroscio Architecture, the design includes a 22 metre green wall rising from the entry lobby. Landscape features prominently with greenery running through the whole building, winding its way through the pool deck and concealing the car parking levels.
Bohem was built to answer a growing demand in Adelaide for city living, the increasing trend towards smaller households and a related need for higher density accommodation options.
According to Starfish developments, 88% of 234 apartments have already sold off-the-plan.

Driving up Sir Donald Bradman Dr this little number really has an impact . It appears taller than 74m .

Don't forget that there's a significant elevation drop of about 5-10m between West Terrace and Mile End. Hence why it looks taller coming down SDBD.

Based on recent developments, I was expecting this to look a lot worse but overall I like it. It has a nice variation in the design.

Have waited a long time to see the finishes on this one before I commented, in case I was wrong. But WOW!! This below average building dominates pretty much my every view when I walk and drive around my corner of the city, and have to say i'm disappointed with the outcome. No architectural merit at all in its design, the colour scheme is bland, blank walls on the podium and its sheer bulk stands out like a sore thumb. No doubt it will be a financial success due to the large number of apartments crammed into this eyesore. 152 Grote Street puts this one to shame in terms of design and finish.
