140 King Street confidently emerges from this unique richly historic Melbourne precinct, which for generations shaped the future of Australian business. King Street was the centre of the woollen trade, a heritage which is clearly preserved in the surrounding context.
140 King is a tower of simple elegant proportions, emerging above the adjacent former woolen exchange. One detail interpreting the varying scale of weave manifests at all levels of the tower. Through the application of entasis, stretching of the tower height has been achieved by division of the facade system into four distinct zones. The effect is to firmly plant the tower into the streetscape, whilst allowing the tower to dissipate at height.

Threading through this city block exists a network of lanes and arcades, which have for too long been separated from King Street. Through a new city arcade, this proposal will create public connections to the expanded laneway network.
140 King street also announces with confidence Meriton’s arrival in Melbourne.
