So what does the luxurious, yet sterile Trio "complex" have to offer its inhabitants? Again, according to the website: "Trio's closest pool will be glorious. At 50m in length with an infinity edge down one side over which water gently tumbles it will be the perfect relaxation spot." I wonder if they're talking about the Ian Thorpe Aquatic Centre in Ultimo?
On a related note, has anyone ever read the JG Ballard book 'Highrise'? For some reason, the Trio building enlivens this book in my mind.
What I would really like to know is what kind of human being is attracted to spend money on a marketing campaign that asks you to 'live triumphantly'. Comments most welcome...

Nice post, Senji. I have to say, wanky architectural speak is so, well, wanky. It always makes me want to throw a stapler at someone.
I'm pretty sure I could live 'triumphantly' if someone gave me a suitcase of money; forget the building.
