Hotel So, Christchurch

"... what is special about Hotel SO is the location. Not so much the central Christchurch position, but the fact that it is in the building that once housed the inland revenue department that pursued developer Dave Henderson into bankruptcy." Read the full story here.

Work in progress

I was in Brisbane at the weekend and next time I'm in town I'll make sure I go back to 641 Ann Street to check out this facade. Hanging baskets .. that's a pretty cool idea!
