The offensive Nonarchitecture of the #Eastbourne apartments (it looks better in the photo than in reality). Shows that #BatesSmart can produce dreadful mediocrities when under a greedy, exploitative, opportunistic developer’s whip who’s supported by corrupt governments in taking rich taste-free idiots for a ride to relieve them of some of their inherited wealth. Not to generalise but. (at The Eastbourne Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/COJTGQmneS1/?igshid=1th9i76ua4h93

Look, I don’t mind it, it very well done, but I think it’s very much too tall in that location - and sets a precedent that VCAT will follow all along #SpringSt. #developergreed 35 Spring St by #BatesSmart & #Multiplex (at Spring Street, Melbourne) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5d94VVH2_4/?igshid=mkmxft499emq

The old Masonic pillars from the demolished #DallasBrooksHall have been reused at the foot of the stair in the replacement building. And here’s also a reminder of #BatesSmart’s #nonitecture (at Epworth Freemasons Private Hospital) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3RJTkpnDAm/?igshid=1v548yc4xvitu
