Any shots of the recent activity on top, a couple days ago they put up a new level, i'm assuming its the mechanical cuz its only half the floorplate...

officedweller · #**1028** Posted **Mar 8, 2008, 8:26 AM**

Upper level of the penthouse as well as mechanical (the rest of that level is roof deck and swimming pool).

*******

Nice upshot there - didn't realize that the protruding box was that assymmetrical.

Look at the 53 sign and count up. 53 + 9 = 62 floors :

phesto · #**1033** Posted **Mar 9, 2008, 6:06 PM**

^Nice counting, but this has already been explained if you'd bothered to read this thread. For those that haven't:

The building has a roof garden slab above level 61. It is not considered a floor, much in the same way that you don't include the roof of your house when describing how many floors it has.

Architype · #**1034** Posted **Mar 9, 2008, 7:16 PM**

The sign says Level 53, but it is most likely just 51 levels (or less) above ground.

I count 61 floors. Like said earlier, you woudn't count the roof of your house as an extra story.

yogiderek · #**1036** Posted **Mar 9, 2008, 8:03 PM**

There is a half floor on top of that floor plate. Look at that great picture from architype above. I now see the 62nd floor penthouse. Though, since they haven't counted 4th floor and I assume the 13th. Well go figure all floor calculations are wrong.

Hong Kongese · #**1037** Posted **Mar 9, 2008, 9:20 PM**

Nice pics guys!

61 or 62 floors, who cares! The building's height is still 197m, no more and no less.

Jacques · #**1038** Posted **Mar 10, 2008, 1:13 AM**

Maybe OT however if you add 6+1= 7 and 6+2= 8 which number is the lucky number for the Asian culture. we all know 4 is bad 13, I would guess the right equation is 53+9= 62 which 6+2= 8 completion
lucky 8
what is 197m= 1+9+7= 17=1+7= 8
just totally OT
gotta throw this one to the wind in case

BTW: what is the postal addy number for the building?

So the height shown in that penthouse model pic looks like the entire height of the fins ( I thought it looked cut off for some reason) - you can see that the mech penthouse pokes up a bit above the fins in the drawing below. So, the height of the rebar in the pic would be the height of the mech penthouse, with the fins ending just below that.

Okay according to this picture there are only to be 8 floors above the protuding box, however in the architype picture there are 9 then the mech above that

also if you look at the penthouse layout on page 49 the second floor of the penthouse is on the 61st floor, and that is the inset half floor that is getting worked on right now. So not sure about the number of floors or high but there is definetly a discrepancy between the drawing and the actual building. Also that drawing is post additional floor.

officedweller · #**1040** Posted **Mar 10, 2008, 7:33 AM**

I only count 8 above the box in Architype's pic.
The lower level of the penthouse looks like it has a higher than normal ceiling height.
