The New Ritz-Carlton, Part 3: The SkyLobby
Pipe must be cut. For that reason there's not much to see in the SkyLobby itself yet, so...
Welcome to the patio behind the SkyLobby, and under the canopy. It looks surprisingly closed-in for a two-floor high space 22 storeys in the air... but then you notice that there is a line of skylights along the edge of the building, covered up for the time being until construction is finished above.
Back inside, we've climbed to the mezzanine level of the SkyLobby... but not on the sweeping staircase which, as you can see, is not there yet.
Look, back patio again, now from above...
and if we tilt up, we get a better look at the skylight which is to be uncovered upon completion.
Here's a better idea of the local context for the back patio.
Aw heck, let's give you an actual view this time (what are we, monsters?), so, looking south from here, Ritz-Carltonians will have an excellent vista of the new Roundhouse Heritage Railway Museum.
Of course, you may also elect to look up from the balcony for this everyday view.
And with that done, it's time to head to the podium... well, next report!
