The practice was commissioned to design Australia 108 in 2014. Within 12 months, Town Planning Approval had been granted and 80% of the apartments were sold. By May 2015, just 20 of the 1,105 apartments remained unsold.
It is a residential tower unlike any other in Australia. Inspired in part by the Commonwealth Star on the national flag, its slender, highly sculptural form is highlighted by a golden starburst expression, which morphs into a curvaceous profile against the sky.
At 319 metres, Australia 108 will become the tallest building to roof in the Southern Hemisphere. Located in Melbourne’s Southbank precinct, it will contain 1,105 apartments over 100 floors, and unprecedented resident facilities, including dining and function spaces, theatrettes, gymnasiums, pools, spas and an extensive barbeque terrace.
Two of the amenities levels are located within the Starburst, where swimming pools cantilever six metres out from the building façade, and residents can relax in a double-height sky garden.
Remarkably located above plant and damper tanks, the $25 million Australia 108 penthouse occupies the entirety of level 100. Entered via a private lift and triple-height lobby, it offers 360-degree views of Melbourne, and has access to a private sky courtyard.
