The Stilts | 183 Meters | 40+ | Pre-Proposal - Page 2

Does anyone have any specific details on this proposal so I can update the database? (i.e. developer, architect(s), references for the height, street address, floors, footage, etc).

I pity the fool who has to draw th damned thing.

Why all the hate - it is a very interesting building and very unique. With the right glass it could be incredible!!!

I agree. Somehow it is so ugly that it redeems itself, I can't explain it.

Canadian Mind · #26 Posted **Dec 2, 2007, 2:23 AM**

I think it's because of all the angles and edges that give it it's unique flair. I mean, look at the balconies up top, the curtain wall is shaped like an oval while the balconies/concrete floor plate is shaped like an hourglass.

Wonder if Vid can be suckered into doing a rendering of this beauty.

Maybe someone can draw Infinity for Surrey too.

This tower is extremely unique though...

Canadian Mind · #28 Posted **Dec 2, 2007, 7:32 AM**

Yea, hence why I'm trying to sucker Vid into it. He's one fo the few guys that probrably can.

I think it might be a bit premature to add it to the database. It would be great to see this built but I'm less than optimistic about this one. I figure it'll die off before even making it to an official proposal.

Canadian Mind · #30 Posted **Dec 2, 2007, 8:08 AM**

what ever. if it dies it can be listed as a stale proposal or a fantasy.

Mike K. · #31 Posted **Dec 2, 2007, 8:50 PM**

^yeah, that's what I was thinking.

Could someone look up the Sutton Hotel addy for me?

I like. Its got spunk.

That ugly thing would need lots of refinement before it is built. I doubt they would allow it.

crazyjoeda · #36 Posted **Dec 17, 2007, 11:51 PM**

That building is amazing!! Truly great and unique architecture; if it were built it could be the most interesting building in Canada. Vancouver needs a land mark like this; Stilts could be our Eiffel Tower or CN Tower it could be our symbol. I am not sure if this design is perfect, but it is defiantly on the right track.

What ever happened to this one?

Another fantasy project destined for the skyscraperpage graveyard, joining the the 600ft Bing Thom Tower, and the Fringe Tower?

David · #38 Posted **Mar 5, 2008, 6:43 AM**

a bored architecture student probably made it on his free time and it was blown out of proportion here...

jlousa · #39 Posted **Mar 5, 2008, 6:48 AM**

I agree. I've said it from the beginning that that thing would never happen. Personally I'm glad too.
