Port Albert Gardens, Port Melbourne

30.03.2006
Located on the old Gasworks site, the challenge was to connect  four contrasting street frontages.

Danks Street has a small scale workers cottage fabric. Foote Street has a brutal early modernist façade. Graham Street has the Gasworks Park with its heritage red brick wall. And Pickles Street is filled with 7-level apartment buildings.

The building responds to all of those frontages by clever use of materials and by respecting the scale of the streets.
