Nott Street, Port Melbourne

1.06.2008
Nott Street is a project won by Plus Architecture to design a multi-residential apartment building for the Buxton Group, and is a testament to Plus’ ever-growing folio of successful residential developments.

Inspired by its Port-side surroundings, the 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.
