Describe an important building
You should say:
1. Where is it?
2. Why is it important?
3. Describe the appearance of this building.
And explain the influence on the local people.
I’m going to describe a modern building in Melbourne which also has a cultural significance. It’s called the Eureka Tower, and it’s the tallest building in the city with about 80 floors and it’s located in South Bank.
Although it’s called the Eureka Tower but most people know this building as the Observation Deck . In fact the bottom half of the tower is a luxury hotel and the top half is apartments. The apartments are expensive because the location and views make them very desirable and fancy to live in.
The appearance of the building looks kind of strange and I am not sure if I like the design of the building. It’s just a huge glass tower with a red tape on the top left corner of it but it definitely stands out! It has become a famous landmark in the city. You can see it as you approach Melbourne and it’s an easy place to meet people because it’s so distinctive and east to find.
The most interesting thing about the building which also influences the locals a lot is that there is a bar/restaurant on the last floor which has spectacular views of the city; it’s definitely the best vantage point in Melbourne because there are no walls, only huge windows so you can look out over the city from different angles in any direction.
As far as I know, visitors can go up to an observation deck on the top floor, which is the last floor. There's also a 360-degree observation area on the floor and. Apparently, the building makes more money from the sale of tickets to the observation floors than it does from office and/or apartment rentals.
Anyway, I’d recommend anyone who visits the city to go there and experience the views.
