Society, South Yarra
13.08.2010| Located in the heart of South Yarra on Bray Street between Simmons and Ellis Street, Society is a pioneering development for Australia. Coined a vertical village, Society represents a new generation of living.Featuring 242 apartments, Society is designed specifically to sit in harmony with its surrounds, as it steps up to 9 storeys and then up to 12 storeys to the south.
The design response takes on a duality of form that wraps around itself on elevation.The white rectilinear form harmoniously juxtaposes with a strong, dark curvaceous body that drapes over the lower form. Residents are encouraged to linger in the sophisticated Society lobby bar, very much like a boutique hotel. Alternatively, residents can choose to work or catch up on the day’s digital social networking in the specifically designed private laptop pods. The impressive lobby and courtyard bar leads out to a tranquil landscaped bamboo garden. Catch the elevator to the top floor where a glamorous dining room awaits to entertain guests, featuring a generous outdoor balcony complete with roof top spas for the ultimate roof deck, pool or dinner party. A residents gymnasium is also on level 12. |
