Edit: Though i don't suppose they could make it a little taller could they?

Knock down the kindergarten on the corner of Nth Tce and King Wm st. It is out of context with all the other buildings in the area. The kindegarten can be resited to one of the over priced leased buildings in the City the government have under utilised at the moment. Maybe they can use Conlons old office with its half million dollar reno!
That valuable location should be sold to fund the state defecit,, or at least fund more political adverts on TV!
I think it's pretty obvious that that's exactly what it is.Pants wrote:For that location, I'm hoping that's very much a concept render to show bulk and scaling.
Hell yeah...Wayno wrote:A hotel would be ok, on condition the ground (and maybe first) floors are integrated & activated with the broader riverbank precinct in mind - not just accommodating hotel guests.
Did someone say rooftop bar? yes please. I've been in Bangkok for work a few times recently - their rooftop bars are amazing! We need this.
I expect that it is, but I wouldn't say it's obvious.Nathan wrote:I think it's pretty obvious that that's exactly what it is.Pants wrote:For that location, I'm hoping that's very much a concept render to show bulk and scaling.
Well, if they're your expectations; I think you'll be very disappointed. It's definitely not going to exceed any height of Westpac House, and I doubt that Walker would spend too much $ on one project in a city like Adelaide where our events calendar is very selective.metro wrote:If it's an ordinary and short glass box as shown then I am opposed to it, for such a prestigious location and being the most visible part of the skyline, anything being constructed here must be of a very high standard. Something like a curved and architecturally unique glass tower of a height at least greater than that of the Westpac House, it should also be lit up with coloured LED lighting at night, and if it's a hotel, should operated by one of the worlds best: Four-Seasons, Ritz-Carlton, Hyatt etc.. I also expect some good design at ground level fronting the festival plaza and the train station, hopefully plenty of retail/food/bar/gallery spaces.
A landmark site, deserves a landmark building, not another boring box.
Spot on .... Needs to be a new landmark for Adelaide as it will be highly visible in all the "postcard" photos of Adelaide (from the Northern bank of the Torrens).metro wrote:If it's an ordinary and short glass box as shown then I am opposed to it, for such a prestigious location and being the most visible part of the skyline, anything being constructed here must be of a very high standard.
