dont forget that 5 storeys facing park road means that the taller building to the rear still has views over the parklands (higher value) and better solar access and reduced sense of enclosure for the internal open space

excellent little cd/record shop looks like it has just opened up across from elephant and wheelbarrow
good prices on lps -compared to muses anyway

this one may be starting
people on site, tagara signs now up on the fencing

I am more impressed that Kim Scott is the guy from the Mark of Cain!!

Ill at Ease is an SA classic...
Remember meeting a bunch of guys in Munich who loved Adelaide because of this band

looks like an opening to an upper level terrace?

i have not looked into the full details of this but me thinks that quite a few schemes in the $8-9.5m range will be miraculously be $10m now
looks like ACC will need to get some cost consultants in to validate the submitted development costs

i think you are being a bit harsh he is an architect and town planner according to his bio!! the website identifies a number of buildings demolished - i agree that many of them would be worthy of retention all matters being equal, however, they are not and whilst i would like developments on sites o...

the statement "avoiding unecessary costs" is a poor choice of words. Good design does cost money but first this must be accepted as important. ACC officers should challenge the viability of this scheme as part of the design assessment. Having said that, I do await more realisted verfieid l...

the first is one is the approved version?

for me, i am very happy it was cancelled. the destruction of hindmarsh, some eastern suburbs and the segregating affects of a concrete collar around the CBD are not fun to comprehend (look at Birmingham who are trying to right the wrongs of the Buchanan Report ideas). I am not saying that elements m...
