I like this new design. I think we need plenty more boxy infill towers so that we don't end up looking like Dubai or some Chinese metropolis

Looks like our architects are going back to their roots on this one.

Excellent pic MBS. The similarities can't be coincidence can they?

Love how they use this angle to make it look only 20 stories.

Holy crap amazing! I love love love this!

I'm there with you Khris - if these two get built as shown, we're looking at a couple of classic additions to the city.

The smaller second building in this project looks more around 32-35 stories not 18 as stated on this thread.

I'll change the title as soon as we get some new official info.

KPMB is now the design architect on this project, though Page + Steele might still be involved. So glad that first design was scrapped.

 

[interchange42]

Thanks, and ditto.

I like it, but I still have severe reservations about the height of this structure and all the other 40+ storey towers that will kill the nice mid-rise nature of Wellington Street.

Love how they use this angle to make it look only 20 stories.

I think the vertical lines on the side helps to trick the eyes into thinking it's shorter because it looks like each strip covers 2-3 levels.
