Light Living

To avoid recreating another conventional apartment complex in Melbourne’s Southbank neighborhood, the design team considered what people look for when purchasing their first home. They arrived at a sense of community and came up with a 10-meter-wide internal atrium that would cut into the rectangular mass that formed an “H” with a linking bridge to each internal façade. The treatments for said façades have a distinctive look, flanked by colored glass, while the outside is made of concrete and metal louvres that provide shade for outdoor porches for some of the total 237 apartments.
