The design references the site’s history as the headquarters of Freemasons Victoria, and uses stone detailing extensively to provide a sense of craftmanship, quality and refinement. Freemasons Victoria maintains a connection with the development, occupying a purpose-built facility on the corner of Victoria Parade and Eades Street.

Capitalising on the premium position, large terraces provide residents with a tangible connection to the parkland opposite, and define the building’s appearance as a series of floating horizontal planes.

Inside, exceptional residential amenity is more akin to a hotel and includes pool, spa, steam room, gymnasium, yoga room, theatre, private lounges with fireplaces, wine cellar, and a bookable dining room and kitchen.

Creating a sustainable environment for residents was at the forefront of the design, and consideration was given to everything from materials to lighting efficiency.
