What is a hideously prominent building will soon be no more. Cambel Trust Ltd Partnership proposes to demolish two existing buildings and construct a new eight-level commercial building at [201 Victoria Street West] - on the corner of Halsey Street, Victoria Street West and Dock Street. It is hard to make any judgement right now, we have limited information and the renders aren't the greatest, but we think that it is safe to assume that the design is nothing spectacular. A Terra-cotta tiled facade brings on flashbacks from the 80's.
Quite avearage, but don't you just think the Victoria Quarter's gonna go off soon? Lots happening.
ReplyDeleteShame about the width of the roads.
Victoria Quarter is taking off in a big, big way - most of the development is moving westward and I hope that the East doesn't get left out of the picture. Thanks for the comment.
ReplyDeleteMore shutters for Auckland.!!
ReplyDeleteYup, can't say that I am entirely against them - used in an imaginative way they can reflect light and create interesting patterns as the light of the day changes. Making them mobile/independent of each other can also change the facade of the building from day to day.
ReplyDeleteShould age just as well as the adjacent monstrosity. Can't we get an Ironbank?
ReplyDeleteAn Ironbankwould be great :)
