Sighs... I actually really like the building as it is now. Im not too sure how the glass curtain will do. Its all a bit too make or break for me.

Aside from the glass, fark! The effect with the grey cladding on the sides is just stunning, it creates such a sleek smooth look thats such a contrast from other materials used. I hope to see more of this effect around.

As already said, this building will complement The Commonwealth Law Courts, and regardless of how it ends up it is way better than what's at (the boring) City Central.

It's not a bad looking building, but it is still half the height it should have been (sigh!)

Is that a good thing or a traffic hazard? ;)

Yeah, I drove past there on Saturday night as it was getting dark and they were still working away. It appears to be quite the job pulling those cranes down. I can't help feeling that there's a touch of irony in needing a crane to put up a crane and then needing a crane to take it down again. Chicken or the egg, anyone? lol

Sorry about the last one, the morning Sun was messing with my exposure.
