Pallas House Melbourne
Inspired by Japanese modernist architecture, we wanted to create a sense of place and refined elegance in the rich streetscape of Palmerston Crescent. Maximising the outlook to the city through a series of bold framing elements, Pallas House Melbourne uses clean and simple materiality and form to realise this.
The site
On the city-fringe at Palmerston Crescent in South Melbourne, this 589m2 site offers unobstructed views of the Melbourne CBD and is only a short walk from the upcoming ANZAC metro station, St Kilda Road and the South Melbourne Markets. With over 1,900m2 of commercial office space, the building will provide tenants with the option to occupy a range of floorplate sizes, while the private balconies and landscaped panoramic rooftop terraces add to the overall sense of belonging.

Process
We entered into a collaboration with one of Australia’s leading architecture firms, Ewert Leaf, to determine the creative vision. It saw an in-house design competition with five internal teams of architects at Ewert Leaf each submitting their own designs for the nine-storey commercial and retail space.

Design
The Ewert Leaf design competition winners worked closely with our team at Fortis to produce the final designs, which have now been submitted to council for approval. Maximising the outlook to the city through a series of bold framing elements, Pallas House Melbourne uses clean and simple materiality.
