Why should a flood plain control compromise the street interface?
Is there a way to open the flood barrier?
A hotel belongs both to the city and the street. How do we make the hotel local if we can’t meet the street?

The Street
Show moreThe podium provides an innovative solution to the problem of the flood plain, reinventing the typical interface to Claremont Street. The design will engage with passing pedestrians as well as hotel users in a way unique to this particular place.
The tower is held aloft by a truss wall. The truss structure is planted and greened, a giant city sized trellis. This trellis provides a deep, visually rich interface between the adjacent residential building and the activity within the hotel lobby.
The entrance is via a new lane. The lane gently rises to allow entry into the hotel and residences above the flood plain. This arrangement allows for true universal access; hotel guest with suitcases, parents with prams, anyone.The podium provides an innovative solution to the problem of the flood plain, reinventing the typical interface to Claremont Street.

The Lantern
Show moreThe ornamental design of the eastern and western glass facade allows the tower to act as a lantern in the South Yarra skyline. A new stain glass window for the city.
The composition and detailing of the window humanises the interface between the guest rooms and the city outside.The ornamental design of the eastern and western glass facade allows the tower to act as a lantern in the South Yarra skyline. A new stain glass window for the city.

The Entry
Show moreThe base of the hotel establishes a new innovative model for urban architecture in the city. The podium frame transfers the weight of the hotel tower to the outer boundary of the site, freeing the ground plane to allow for a rich ensemble of spatial experiences. The project establishes its own lane-way and sophisticated public thresholds, combines multiple levels of integrated public space, engages with the street in exciting and new ways, inviting guest to explore, discover and play.

Public Spaces
Show moreMelbourne’s entertainment, art and design scenes are known for radical eclecticism. This cultural richness is inspired by the diversity of the creative people, who have decided to make the city their own over many generations. Like the city from which this hotel emerges, this new Moxy will celebrate this cultural history as a key narrative for the guests to explore,

The Rooms
Show moreThe guest rooms at each end of the Sunrise & Sunset corridor have wonderfully different aspects and experiences of light and colour. This special light influences the styling of each room. The sunrise rooms look east across green sports field to bustling Chapel Street, while the sunset rooms look west toward Melbourne’s metropolitan skyline.
