Bank Street finds specificity within place and comes from a deep understanding of the contextual diversity of South Melbourne
Sited amongst a rich layer of culture and history, Bank Street finds specificity within place and comes from a deep understanding of the contextual diversity of South Melbourne.
On the roof are the solar gardens. With expansive views to Port Phillip Bay, the Royal Botanical Garden and city skyline, the communal garden under the four-metre canopy is the perfect place for residents to socialise and spend time. Visually comparable to a greenhouse, the communal gardens are framed with tall sheets of glass for wind mitigation.
An elegant mix of grandeur and practicality, Bank Street prioritises occupant experience in equal measure to its contribution to the civic realm. Centrally located in a rapidly evolving and rich urban precinct, the site is in proximity to public transport routes, the Botanical Gardens and the Melbourne’s CBD. The project’s amenity coupled with its prized locale, makes the building a truly unique offering.
A series of spaces for gathering and chance encounters
A building within a garden, Gloriette – the heart of Bank Street – is a proposed level three podium, creating an elevated community with open decks, private gardens and a centralised open void to the sky. The ‘Gloriette’ offers residents a series of spaces for gathering and chance encounters; linked together by garden paths and courtyards.
