Creating a design worthy of one of Melbourne's most cherished locations, began with developing a connection to the beauty of the surrounding botanical gardens and lake.
The ripples and waves of nature inspires a concept that gives the building its distinguished curvaceous façade. Light, space and maximised views, The Emerald apartment tower delivers the lot in a distinctive, organic rippling form that rises above a podium.
There are two street-level retail tenancies and above there are 282 apartments over 19 levels. Penthouse-style three-bedroom apartments sit atop the building. Stepped apartment profiles and full-height windows ensure abundant natural light and vast views to the horizon for living areas. Curving, glazed balconies wrap the tower, giving it its striking form and creating a sense of great transparency and lightness.
A key design feature is the rooftop which comprises 400sqm of communal space including a landscaped garden with spa pool amenities and barbecue, taking full advantage of the panoramic views on offer.
The building design achieves a 5-star Green Star rating.
