Australia 108, designed by our sister studios, Fender Katsalidis, 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.
An icon of the Southern Hemisphere
At 319 metres, Australia 108 will become the tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere. Located in Melbourne’s Southbank precinct, it will contain 1,105 apartments over 100 floors. 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 were yet to be sold
Unprecedented amenity
Australia 106 boasts 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, a structure which emerges from the tower's slender form to cantilever eight metres out from the building facade. Within this dramatic space, residents can relax in a double-height sky garden, or enjoy the infinity edge swimming pools.
The $25 million AED penthouse occupies the entirety of level 100, and has been innovatively located above plant and damper tanks to maximise the use of space,. Entered via a private lift and triple-height lobby, the penthouse offers 360-degree views of Melbourne, and has access to a private sky courtyard.
