Last year when I first showed you
'one40william' it was just newly completed, I shot the back view (below) and showed it in B&W for a bit of drama. When I went into the city last week as I was walking down Murray St. I could see that it looks every bit as impressive from the front and a little more 'friendly' with the blue sky above. I know it's a very big, modern building but somehow it seems to fit in quite well with the older buildings next to and around it. The
Perth Subway Station is below with the entrance coming up onto Murray St. in the centre of the city, very handy when you catch the train in from the suburbs. This building has won many awards for it's environmentally friendly design and Aimee's health has definitely improved since moving there.. not sure about her bank balance, being right in amidst all the city shops and with a love of fashion doesn't bode well for her dollars and cents. I hope your week is off to a good start, the weather in Perth is perfect with a week of 25C ahead.....
impressive indeed!!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting design.
ReplyDeleteI love your new capture!! What a beautiful building and, yes, lovely blue skies make the perfect backdrop! Terrific shot for the day!! Hope your week is off to a great start!!

What an impressive and strong architecture!
ReplyDeleteA rather busy structure. And a cool shot.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Looks like a great place to live - right in the middle of everything!
ReplyDeleteI remember the building, a very interesting structure in every possible sense.
ReplyDeleteI like both shots of this building...the black and white is very geometric...the color is vibrant with the life of the city...;-)
ReplyDeleteImpressive, what a construction!!
ReplyDeleteHave a good week, Grace.
I like this unusual building. It looks like several different buildings stacked on top of each other in a slightly off kilter way. I love buildings designe like this. They make great architectural interest.
ReplyDeleteNow that is an example of cool modern architecture. It's really nice!
ReplyDeleteQuite unusual looking -- I like it! It looks really good in color.
ReplyDeleteBoth shots are impressive, but I prefer the color with the sky reflected in the glass.
ReplyDeleteBonza photos. I must say i don't really like buildings thrown together with concrete and glass they are so boring and have no style :-).
ReplyDeletefeels as if it is still growing. please have a good tuesday.
ReplyDeletemagnifique et impressionnant building
ReplyDelete¡Estupendas imágenes las de tu blog! Me quedo por aquí. Un saludo desde Granada.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great looking building! It would be fun for a young person to live right in the middle of what's happening!
ReplyDeleteGreat design and it looks great in color too.
ReplyDeleteThis must go on my favorite buildings list! It's magnificent. Such wondrous lines and the way they fight to reach up to the sky! Marvelous!
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like a Frank Gehry building but more industrial. Our downtown won't see a building like this anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteA very classy structure Grace.... My Perth is becoming so... Up-market!
ReplyDeleteYeeuch! Make the architect live in it for a year. that'll teach him!
ReplyDeleteVous aimez beaucoup les cubes, en Australie. Nous aussi, mais en béton. Seulement en glace, dans notre verre, au moment de l'apéritif. Hmmmm, un bon rosé de Provence, agrémenté de quelques olives aux herbes.... Tu viens?
ReplyDeleteI like it- lots going on and slickly modern. I hope you get to pop in to see Aimee and admire the views, Grace! A dramatic photo.
ReplyDeletewhat a fascinating building facade ... its so alive, all those angles and the different looking concrete or whatever it is .. no wonder Aimee likes living there
ReplyDeleteGreat captures of a very distinctive building, Grace.
ReplyDeleteI like how it butts up against an older structure. I'm a fan of modern architecture but especially when they figure out a way to integrate the old and new
ReplyDeleteSo many lines and corners. Fantastic architecture and photos too.
