Description

A fourteen level building on the corner of St Kilda Road and Toorak Road West, holding just 40 residences, the uppermost of them a double storey penthouse. Its facade is both the defining challenge and the signature of the job: curved glass corners set against facetted planes, pleated to fold the light like fabric, with a geometry that shifts floor by floor and left no room for approximation. Behind it sits a double height lobby in feature marble, a full floor given over to residents with pool, spa, gym, sauna, steam room, club lounge and private meeting rooms, and four levels of basement parking with a private garage to each residence, some served by a private lift running direct to the residence above. Local and international stone, natural timber, metal, leather and fabric were selected for their own character and detailed to keep it. Built for Devitt Property Group to the design of Bruce Henderson Architects and Bruce Henderson Interiors.
