Yarra One

The tower’s façade comprises a glazed curtain wall with glass balustrading to the balconies, providing each apartment with a spectrum of orientations and views. The building’s orthogonal shoulders and slender linear form speaks directly to the existing language of the neighbouring towers and anchors it in its context. The elliptical tower is a balanced and slender counterpoint with the rising oval form signifying the location and the importance of the public plaza below.

The 27-storey residential tower consists of 247 one, two and three-bedroom apartments, as well as an additional three penthouses. Yarra One offers multi-generational living through a host of onsite amenities with a number of the apartments designed to give residents the opportunity to adapt their apartments as needs change.

A feature of the building’s design is the extensive timber-look trellis with integrated elevated planter beds. This gridded element is nestled into the podium with greenery injected throughout. Sunlight filters through the lattice form throughout the day, illuminating the public space and adding to the precinct’s dynamic and ever-changing energy.

The atrium will see significant pedestrian traffic between South Yarra train station and Chapel Street, making it a destination and gathering place for residents and neighbours of South Yarra.
