I think the bumpy concrete facings that are installed to the white horizontal banding and balustrades has helped bring the overall aesthetic up.

I see we’re back to bricks on facades again. I thought we learnt after the North Terrace Stamford. It aged terribly.. didn’t look good in the 70’s and doesn’t look good now. It really surprises me how many of you are happy with this mediocre offering. A uni student could have come up with these designs and treatments. It could have been such a grand and iconic structure given its location.

The East End Markets apartments (corner of Grenfell and East Tce) aged very well and used bricks on the facade... The Stanford isn't ugly because of the brick, it's ugly because of the window awnings.

Nothing wrong with brick facade, but the fact they are clearly non-connected panels let's things down.

London has brick facade all over the place and it works wonderfully in bringing in the old and new developments together.

Brick can be brilliant, tacky and everything in between. I think the main concern with brick on recent developments is when it falls into the categories 1. Aldo's 8 flats on Findon Rd Tan Brick or 2. 25 storey Delfin townhouse... that's when you don't like brick so much

[Mpol02]

Of course it can be all things like every other form of glazing.

When done well it can be gorgeous.

This doesn’t look like the cream brick in Findon, though my yiayia may beg to differ

Best example of modern / commercial scale brick I’ve seen in Adelaide is on ‘The Harrington’ apartment building currently under construction on Prospect Road. It looks like it’s indented into the precast panels.

This looks like a sticker effect similar to Bohem which also lets that build down in a similar fashion.
