Australia's first vertical village

Right behind St Andrew's cathedral (in the foreground) a new building grows taller every day (on the left). It's called Residences Lumière and the name is aptly chosen: with floor to ceiling windows, the apartments will indeed be full of light (lumière means light in French). More images here . The architects of this 56-floor tall building claim it will be Australia's first vertical village. Vertical village... is that a lifestyle that appeals to you? Not to me!

Juste derrière la cathédrale St Andrew (au premier plan ici) un immense immeuble grandit tous les jours (à gauche) : il s'appelle Residences Lumière, un nom bien choisi : avec ces façades entièrement vitrées les appartements seront certainement très lumineux (voir images). Le promoteur de cette tour de 56 étages annonce que ce sera le premier village vertical d'Australie... un village vertical ça vous tente comme mode de vie ? Moi pas du tout !
