Located near the corner of Glenhuntly Road and the Nepean, this 10 level mixed use development will be a highly visable addition to the vibrant Elsternwick activity centre.The building consists of 83 dwellings over ground level cafe and retail and a 3 story basement below.

Situated on this prominent corner site means that the building needs to respond to many vantage points from both near and far and from various angles. The building will become an object in space that is viewed in the round and the design approach acknowledges this fact. The considered sculptural forms and shifting edges offers articulated movement when viewed from every direction and distance.

The proposed design scheme utilizes a pallet of natural materials to create a contemporary architectural language of clean lines and strong forms. The considered articulation of forms and selection of materials promotes a vision of a vibrant and active residential and retail future for the immediate Glenhuntly Road precinct and the wider Glen Eira borough.
