Buildings like this are a sad indictement on the current development plan, which seeks boring, beige boxes that 'blend in' with the surrounding. In the current development plan, bold, innovative and ultra modern buildings are a big no, no.
To put it in the record this is a direct quotation from the current development plan regarding Developments Adjoining Heritgae Items:
‘the design
of buildings on a site adjoining the site of an item of city or state heritage should
respect and complement the built form character of such item in terms of scale,
building form, materials, external finishes and colour’.
Considering the large amounts of heritage buildings in the CBD, this explains why so many new buildings are short, brown/beige, architecturally uninspiring and built of 'heavy' materials such as concrete.

Brock were holding Open Inspections yesterday evening, I was going to pop in with the other half to show her the box sized apartments she was missing out on, but alas our dumplings were late on coming out and we missed out. Damn!
