Eugh, I had really high hopes for the material choices for this proposal. Shame

It just keeps getting worse. Another dogs breakfast.

The original render also made it loom more grey which made it appear to be a little more sleek.
The new images show a lot more brown.

I’m done.

Uh, What happened to the original intended finishes on the podium?
Also looks like the feature cross bracing has been removed too from the tower proper.

For such a prominent location, it's looking like one of the biggest missed opportunities in quite some time. If this had nothing but the highest quality finishes it will be a massive disappointment.
Walking on over....

It has been dumbed down. What was already a disappointing development has lost its only redeeming feature. It is now the pig’s arse.
The entire block. Garbage.

Too bad they couldn’t put that money into better finishes and a nicer design.

Built are the architects. They’re the guys doing UCity as well. UCity isn’t bad looking in fact most of their designs are fairly decent. This one has been a real failure though.

No.

Built are the construction company. Hassell are the Architects for the GPO building. Woods Bagot are the Architects for U City.
