This innovative waterfront design offers contemporary city living with approx 300 apartments over 22 levels, together with an exclusive supper club for residents to relax and entertain in, a library and gym.

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 statement 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 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.

Era boasts a large central courtyard landscaped around a pool, BBQ facilities and lawn areas, and also offers a gym, library, meeting rooms and private cinema for all residents, commercial and residential.

Era has been carefully designed to suit the character of Richmond, presenting a highly contextual, finely grained, and interesting rejuvenation of a previously run down, post industrial Richmond site.

The goal is to create a highly connected, interwoven series of programs that generate a critical mass of activity, population and place making. Shops, secure parking and offices combine with cafés and restaurants to open out onto plazas and landscaping. Overlooking this are the private apartments. Careful planning has ensured the maximum number of apartments have city views and a sunny northerly aspect.

The architectural expression of Tooronga Village is governed by two archetypal elements; podium and tower. Each is informed by program, site and boundary conditions. The podium is a lifted folding ground plane that recalls an imagined landscape.It is set into the hillside and held up by dynamic sculptural web or tree like columns.

Users are able to access the development at multiple levels of ‘ground floor’ entry, continually challenging the notion of what lies above and below. The roof of the podium becomes a ground plane for the towers, restaurants, plazas and gardens.

The two apartment towers above form a more reserved backdrop to the public spaces below. The facades are a collection of snapshots of the city skyline they face. Rectilinear forms and frames break down the building faces into a collection of scaled elements rising out of this new urban-suburban village.
