Melbourne’s cityscape is changing rapidly, and according to renowned architect Karl Fender architecture does have a lot to do with it.
After the completion of Federation Square, it was clear that Melbourne is unafraid to try something a little bit different, which is precisely the element being introduced to the design of many current apartment building developments.
The completed unit blocks one can observe along St Kilda Road are making a sculptural statement, initiating a dialogue with their urban surroundings.
”Apartment blocks are big buildings in the environment – why can’t they be urban sculptures, interesting, that provoke thought and questions – a sculptural presence?” Mr Fender said.
Besides their aesthetic appeal, the developments include a number of serviced apartments which are being retained as an investment.
The deceptive glass-fronted design hides enclosed terraces which serve as winter gardens beneath the glossy façade. The louvers open horizontally to reveal an outdoor terrace on a sunny day. The glass itself changes colour depending on the light, giving the design fluidity.
The luxury 250 to 300-square-metre apartments with glorious views will set you back around $3.3 million.
