Inspired by its Port-side surroundings, the 6 storey design is informed by the characteristics of both modern day and historic shipping ports – ocean setting, towering cranes, cargo shipping containers, historic sailing ships and modern day cruise ships, whilst simultaneously overlaying a contemporary architectural language to the design.

The distinctive façade framing is influenced by the skyscraping cranes scattered across the city Ports.  Dark glass is set back behind the façade to generate layering and depth.

Contrastingly, the Eastern side of the building is oriented towards the CBD with picturesque views of the city skyline.
 

Located on the corner of Harbour Esplanade and Docklands Drive, this innovative waterfront design offers contemporary city living with approx 300 apartments over 22 levels, as well as an exclusive supper club for residents to relax and entertain in, library, and gym.

The design seeks to bring together the new wave in apartment mixed use planning, the harbour site and the gateway location of this significant site.

The apartment tower is wrapped by a distinctive architectural form spiraling and curling around its slender tall shape. Across the Docklands drive side the ribbon develops a dynamic wave that provides a distinctive point of difference to any other tower in Melbourne.

These elements unify the tower into one strong elegant marker to welcome all those entering Melbourne’s Docklands.
 

Introducing vitality and excitement to the burgeoning built environment of Melbourne’s Southbank, this important development will be one of the most architecturally significant buildings in the area.

As well as the 108 hotel rooms and 176 private apartments, commercial and retail tenancies, the proposed development will also house a gymnasium, pool, business centre, concierge, and retail facilities.

Notably, the project will retain the existing Edwardian façade on City Road by developing a unique, grand foyer for the new tower behind.

Located at the heart of the very best Melbourne has to offer and with almost 360 degree views, the tower has a spectacular outlook.
