The fluid forms of the façade define large balconies for each apartment and spectacular views of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Port Phillip Bay, Albert Park and skyline of the Central Business District.

For the seventh consecutive year, Melbourne has been listed as the ?world?s most liveable city?. The design translates the many attributes of the city to create apartments that blur the boundaries between building and city, exterior and interior.
Taking its cues from the fluidity within Australia?s landscapes and seascapes, the façade?s composition has evolved from a system of simple wave formations that is further developed to generate variables of the same design language. Using algorithms to determine these variables enables the façade to adapt to the wide variety of different apartment layouts and also adapt to the irregular site.

Building on ZHA?s expertise in delivering complex architectural geometries, computational parametric design allowed an optimizing algorith...
