Reflective cladding on the underside of the slanted ‘canopy’

Sexy folded black panels...

(new street lamp)...

Measuring distance between support framing...

The fact that a developer went for this kind of bespoke museum-level detailing is still beyond me..

 

[LUVIT!]

I think it’s fantastic plus it looks exactly or better than the renderings. I do wonder what the suites look like?

Whats beyond me is how low the standards are of residential developers and some users on this forum.

Huh? Do explain our lack of standards? That’s a rather bold statement. This is eye catching no?

More please

Hanging cables for future lighting?

What's with the octagon under cladding?

That's the funky shiny cladding in Underpass Park, if it's the second last image you're referring to. Similarities to the underbelly of Harris Sq.

Oh right, I was looking under the wrong structure. Nevermind then. And boy that was embarrassing of me. >.<

Me too, to be honest. So many people say that "people don't want to pay for architecture, so the developers don't invest in it". But if you look at resale homes, it's so often the homes with "character" that fetch the highest prices. "Character", or attention to architectural and design details, seems to elicit an emotional response which encourages people to spend more money than they otherwise would have. And that's not a bad thing if they end up being more satisfied with their purchases than they otherwise would have been.

Meanwhile next to the despicable destruction next door, there is beauty to be found.
