The under-whelming "Soleil" building is nearing completion and has taken it's place on the Brisbane skyline, dwarfing everything nearby. 464 apartments, 74 floors high. Prices start at A$370K.

Can't say that it's a big hit with me either, Cara.
Seems to be a needle looking for a bloody great haystack.
Higher seems to be the thing to do now with architects. I like the way you placed it between the two palm trunks.
"Underwhelming" but overpowering, I'd say. I wouldn't like to live in it either. It looks as though it would bend and sway in our sub-tropical storms.
Perhaps it wouldn't look so bad if it wasn't such a dark colour! I read that we are to get several more high-rise towers, one even taller than 'Soleil'.
