Creating a True Village for Connection and Community Wellbeing

Located in Melbourne’s legal quarter, 383 La Trobe Street represented an ambitious vision for mixed-used urban living. We led a rigorous international design competition, inviting select architects from global cities including Paris, London, New York and Hong Kong to reimagine the site’s potential.

The competition culminated in a partnership with Atelier Jean Nouvel, with the Pritzker Prize-winning architect’s 70-storey tower design taking the award. Nouvel’s vision proposed 500 luxury apartments and 200 upscale hotel rooms, integrated through an intricate network of public spaces. This would have dedicated nearly a third of the ground plane to public life.
