Pallas House Melbourne
With the Victorian footprint of Fortis and Pallas Capital continuing to expand, we recently called in our long-term design partners at Ewert Leaf to help shape an ambitious second home for us in South Melbourne.
The site
On the city-fringe at Palmerston Crescent in South Melbourne, this 592sqm site offers unobstructed views of the Melbourne CBD and is also a short walk from the upcoming ANZAC metro station, as well as St Kilda Road and the South Melbourne Markets.

Process
For our new Melbourne home, we wanted to try something different. So instead of a tight creative brief, 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, including more than 3,300sqm of NLA.
“Inspired by Japanese modernist architecture, we wanted to create a sense of place and refined elegance in the rich streetscape of Palmerston Crescent.”

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.
