Thomaso Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Really? Good stuff if so. I thought I'd read Thomaso saying earlier there was to be different coloured glazing in those rows. (Worth adding, it seems to be on four rows/ three floors.) The neutral grey opaque glass panels are there to mask the floor slabs within the building. The coloured panels will be glazed into the side elevation curtainwalling at either end of 'curved' main curtainwalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomaso Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 (edited) All the images released by the club showed them as white? The images were more light grey than white - as I keep saying computer generated artist impressions are never truly accurate.

Thomaso Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Had hoped that the opaque bits would be maroon. Unless something still has to be added. All down to personal preference, however the Club images never ever showed maroon panels to the horizontal banding to the 'curved' curtainwalling. There will however be maroon coloured glass panels to the side elevations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So, as someone suggested above, are these opaque panels temporary? I wouldn't think so given They are there to hide the floor.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamborello Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 The images were more light grey than white - as I keep saying computer generated artist impressions are never truly accurate. Thanks Thomaso, I wasn't questioning the colour but just responding to an earlier poster who said they had hoped they would be maroon, when as you say the artists impressions showed them to be light grey/white. To clarify the 'temporary' opaque panels I was referring to were the ones behind the clear glass on the first floor. Like others I was unsure about the change from an all clear glass front, but now its going up I think its going to look amazing, and can't wait to see the finished stand.

Thomaso Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So, as someone suggested above, are these opaque panels temporary? No they are permanent. My previous comments were related to barriers inside the building that could be seen through the clear glass areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scabber Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 So, as someone suggested above, are these opaque panels temporary?Cant think why anyone would think they would go to all the expense and time to fit all these panels if they were temporary.

sac Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Sheep shites are known as purlies, certainly known as that in my family (we're not sheep). I always understood 'purlies' was derived from the word 'pearl' ? meaning the shites were basically little brown pearls! In fact! Pearly whites! Shites! Of course! Cockney rhyming slang. Maybe that's it. Thanks for the sheep shite info, & the cockney rhyming slang lesson. Every day is a learning day here on KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanbauld Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Amazing that we build a new stand with clear views for everyone then go and get a pole to put on the pitch. The running of this club is deteriorating rapidly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) It would probably cost more than was worthwhile. We also have the memorial garden which acts as that.

There was a mock up of the hospitality lounges with some old bricks surrounding the support pillars. Only a few people would be able to see them though if that was where the potentially named bricks were to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was an exposed wall on the way to the turnstyles between the new stand and the Gorgie then that would be OK but I dont think an internal wall would work unless its on one of the concourses.

hughesie27 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 (edited) One thing this thread is missing is moving images of the work. I'm about as far away from Tynie as you can get and the pictures have been great entertainment every day as I head to work. However watching that interview with Budge it gives you a proper sense of scale compared to the perfectly framed images posted by the good folk so far. Get that drone up! And a massive thanks to everyone taking the time to document to progress. Edited June 23, 2017 by hughesie27 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tian447 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 I'm just back from holiday in Arnhem, whilst I was there I took a walk to the Gelredome home of Vitesse Arnhem and the stadium is all glass but more boxy than Tynie will be. I took some photos but have no idea how to get them from my phone to my laptop, tried all sorts but to no avail. The front of the stadium is convex as opposed to ours but worth a wee look on google. Sort of related, but I brought a friend from Arnhem to the Aberdeen game, and he said that Tynecastle is by far the best stadium he's ever been to.
