Oh Subiaco, you’re always trying to look so cool with your fake lanterns and your two hour parking and your tilt up concrete. Why do you always end up looking like such a dick, with your eaveless mansions and your closing down of anything of actual interest? Poor old Subi. When will someone give you pity sex and then kick you out of the spotlight bedecked ute in Wembley with the words “fuck off you dumb mole” ringing in your violated earholes? When? Seriously, why is every single decision made by anyone in Subiaco always such a fucken disaster? Subiaco, Maylands is laughing at you. By Pete F. Obviously. New category added. Multiple worsts.

The Worst of Perth 
Once again I have no idea what the hell I am looking at. Is the building shown a prison? Is there going to be cladding? Was the streetlight there and then they put this structure behind it?
BTW, have been worsting north and south. I have a few surprises for you.

Tons of it in the US, but not much in the HRV or New York in general. Steel frame and cinderblock all the way.
I agree that the lantern is the real offender here.
However I sneaked around this district via Google Maps a bit and lanterns aside it seems nice. Some older looking buildings and beautiful plantings.

I used to park on that block when visting the pub on the corner, but that was in the days before it was the Duck Inn, which was the days before it was a cheesy Irish theme pub, which were the days when you could get a parking space in Subiaco.

So everything should be laneways then Bento? Here is the street view. Still only a carpark but not even an attempt at sympathy with environment.
LikeLike
It looks shithouse at the moment, I concede, but I’m prepared to reserve judgement until the building is finished. What ‘sympathy with the environement’ do you want for a car park? I’d say a blank wall is exactly the right amount of sympathy to show a car park.
The City ought to improve the interface between the car park and the public realm (ie where your streetview photographer is standing), but that’s nothing to do with the development on the abutting site.

Bento I agree on the reservation of judgement. Also it is the correct amount of sympathy for a car park. I also believe Hovean is correct in the vision for the future of the carpark. All of these things confirm the approaching death of Subi.
None of this reduces the offence I feel that where I went from walking up a street that was relatively open, albeit full of cars, in which I could look up & see the endless blue sky & hope that perhaps all this bullshit I go through every day was worth it I am now faced with a tunnel of concrete & faux irishness. Why don’t I go back to St Georges Tce, a windswept concrete valley.

The carpark will inevitably be replaced by a similar sized/height building, so wall will be lost. Its cast in grooves top to bottom seem extravagant. The lantern is a standard Subiaco street job – bonus to the blokes who slipped a 10 metre wall and its footings in so close.
All in all soundly done and destined to comfortably house people for centuries, or until
yet more arrive and demand to live there as well.
