Elm Apartments

Project Team: Elenberg Fraser (Architecture), Hecker, Phelan & Guthrie (Interior Design), Jack Merlo (Landscape Design)

Square Metres: 30,000m2

Location: Dorcas St, South Melbourne, VIC

Expected completion date: November 2010

From the Architects:

“The Elm Apartments is a 252 apartment tower, located just off the tree lined St Kilda Road Boulevard. Reflective of the ‘green’ elements of its location between the Boulevard and the Bay, the proposal is rich in material and articulation, responding to the diversity of the function, scale, mass and typology within the precinct. Elm is a collaboration between EF, HPG & Jack Merlo for Fridcorp.”

But the new hues aren’t just about colour – and their significance is much more profound than their surface-level subtlety might suggest.
