Photo Hunters #8 - Architecture
The tall building below is the Q1 located here on the Gold Coast. It is the tallest residential building in the world. Standing approximately 322.5 metres high, with 80 floors. There is an observation deck on level 77, I'm told the view is superb, on a clear day you can see for about 80km. Certainly a modern day landmark and design.
Enjoy your weekend.

80 floors? Ouch - I sure wouldn't want to live there! I like my feet firmly on the ground :D
Wow, reminds me of the Skylon Tower. Not sure if I'd like to go to the top though!
Such tall structures. Just like to admire them but not to live in them.
Mine is up too.
Would love to check this out one of these days.
Cheers to your day!
Wow, 80 floors. Amazing! I'm sure the penthouse has a spectacular view.
OMG that is one very tall building! I would be a bit afraid to live that high up!...My photo is up, please come and visit
Amazing? Do you know anyone who lives there?
That's amazing!

Great photos! We had the same take on this week's theme. It's up in my site :)
There is a 60-story residential tower being put up near where I live, but I guess it won't be enough to break your tower's record!
Have a great weekend.
Very tall! Wow.
I almost posted a photo of the tallest building in my state... but didn't.
YEOW. I get lightheaded thinking of anything that high. Great shots. You'll find mine at My Photo Blog
Oh wow!! Great shots!
Would love to visit this sometime.
Mine is now up as well. Have yourselves a wonderful weekend!!

:-)
Beautiful. I would love to live on that top floor!
that's one tall building - thxs for stopping by at my other blog www.larryhnetka.com
I'm with many here, I love to live at ground level. I wondered where this is at?
tallest residential building ... wow!
great upload for the theme. :)
hmmmm, not sure I'd want to live up there where the eagles soar! beautiful photos.
Very tall! Very scary! Thanks for sharing, and thanks for stopping by my site to look at my picture: http://luluslaundry.wordpress.com
What an awesome building. I would love to see the view from the top. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend.
Wow! That would be a very, very high place to live. I wonder if the building that tall ever feels like it is swaying just a little or what the wind sounds like that high...
very modern and I would love to see what the penthouse looks like inside.
That's an amazing building but I would have to pass when it came to living in it - I have a big fear of heights!
WOW - that is a big building!! Don't think I could live so high up there.
men are so genius to build something like that! great choice!
What a neat building! Very cool design. Great photos. :)
Oh Wow, love the shape of the building. Very impressive.
That looks like it would be a great place to live, a whole self-enclosed community.
Great photo.
Those are amazing and a modern beauty!
What a great building. I would love to see the view from the very top floor.
I am not a fan of heights myself:)but it is a cool picture.
Very cool! I love skyscrapers!!
Happy Saturday!
Great photos. :) What a neat building! The view from the top must be spectacular. I wouldn't want to live that high up though!
i love tall buildings! would be so great to take the elevator all the way to the top without stops in between! mine's up too! ;)
Very cool building! I am sure I would not want to live in the tallest residential buliding. whew! I need my yard. :-) Cool photos!!
It must be scary to live up top there since they build them so that they "give" with the wind. I like its nearly cylindrical design.
Amazing! I can't imagine living there! Perfect choice for The Hunt. Great photos. A stunning piece of architecture!
What a cool building!
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
The thought of being 80 floors up makes me queasy...
I would love to see the view from the top floor.

What an amazing building! I'm terrified of heights, though, so I don't think I'd go up there! lol I feel like I've been travelling the world today, seeing so many wonderful structures!! xox
What a marvelous collection of photos for the "architecture" theme. Have a great weekend!
That is an amazing building but I'm not sure I'd like to live that high up!

That is very cool -- I wish I had a view like that -- 80km is a long way.
Thank you for sharing.
Very cool shot, wouldn't want to work them stairs if the lift broke.
Beautiful modern architecture! although I wouldn't like to live in that tall tower, at least not above the 10th floor!!
Happy hunt, thanks for your visit!
Wow, so tall you can't even fit the whole thing in one shot!
Late comment, sorry, I've been travelling. Thanks for dropping by.
