Have you looked at one Adelaide on flinders? The sales office opens next week. There is also kodo. The trims site might be a bit further off but certainly a great design and location. I am yet to see the inside though so it could be terrible who knows.
Yeah I wont be signing or doing anything until it is approved. Thanks for the advice though!
My wife and I have really struggled to find a 3 Bedroom we like the design of and this development floor plan is by far the one that has jumped out to us. We currently live in a two story, 4 bedroom, theater, massive kitchen so big change for me especially. Although half the rooms in our house are never used. All the other layouts are the square box design with a small L shaped kitchen etc. The 2 apartments per floor is also a big plus to us.
Bohem we looked at but I am pretty sure they were all 2 bedrooms, correct me if I am wrong.
Have had a quick look at the Flinders "One" project, once again floor plans did not jump out at us either.

Sponge,
If you have a lazy 3.2M to invest, you might be interested in 203 North Tce. 1 apartment per floor 320m2 - massive with a "Chefs Kitchen" i don't think there are many if any left.
I have a 7 bedroom dwelling with a Helipad, bowling alley and secret underground bat cave where i make my Iron Man Suites. So i feel your pain about downsizing to live amongst the unwashed.

Sorry Rev, but have to disagree with you on this one. I don't think it is an overreaction, more a case of giving it the appropriate level of criticism that such an average design so richly deserves.
If it goes ahead so be it. However, I think it is fair enough to expect a much better class of building in the first instance, rather than just put up with it in the hope that it will be blocked out soon enough.
Yet 115KW gets celebrated in its development thread. The walls are so ugly on that thing it makes me want to vomit. But cities aren't built for one person.
I agree, they are built for many people, which is why if a development is considered ugly by many it should be changed, or considered ugly by those we entrust to make these decisions it should also be changed.
don't get me wrong, I don't want every development stopped because 1 or two people don't like it, but there needs to be some standards put in place so that you build a beautful city, rather than just keep trying to cover up every ugly design with another one.

If only there were more developers with a choice of 3 bed and variety of floor plans, I believe many more downsizers/ small families would opt for city living. There is a huge market out there for people in your situation, and should I move back to Adelaide, I would be looking at a CBD residence. Unfortunately we continue to be served up 2 bedroom boxes, with no separation of zones as you mention.

I know a couple of people on the DAP assessment board who will tear this one to shreds. Considering is yet to be approved, good luck is all i say.
Horrible, cheap, nasty is what comes to mind.

This is what happens when only a few have the power. They build what
they like, and stomp on what they don't.
Your 'friends' on the DAP board probably enthusiastically approved that hideous gray, orange and yellow Balfours dump judging by their taste

Do you mean the Adelaide City Council DAP or the State Government DAC? As far as I'm aware the DAP basically gets asked effectively out of politeness on things over the $10m limit but has no real say.
Edit: As for people thinking this is hideous, well, the DAP approved a 4 storey building that appears to be made out of shipping crates near where I live. I'm guessing people on the DAP thought it was 'cute' or 'novel'.

This one?

That actually looks quite interesting. Looks like they've taken a lot of inspiration from jutaku (Japanese micro homes).
I guess the quality of the corrugated iron cladding would play a big part if it's successful or not.

Thanks, nice find. I assume the cladding is more than just painting the shipping crates.

Anyways, apologies to mods for derailing the thread... I guess the relevance to this one is that one person's eyesore is another's majestic creation.
