Melbourne Central The building massing starts as a standard block separated into zones for the showroom, offices and carpark. Due to the building position at the boundary of the Carlton and CBD grid intersection, it is then rotated at an angle of 25 degrees to align with an axis between Carlton gardens and Melbourne Central, establishing a link with nature and technology. Areas protruding from the site boundary are subracted and as a result the carpark is extended to allow subsequent car spaces. The carpark is mirrored to allow the neighbouring hotel to retain views of Carlton and the CBD. The showroom roof is alighned to a pitch of 30 degrees to maximise sun exposure for the Photovoltaic Glass. The front wall of the showroom is also slanted to allow views into the showroom from Victoria Street. The apartment is stretched above the neighbouring building heights to maximise views.

The facade is designed to express the link between technology and nature. The verenoi pattern was derived from the shapes created from a Ferro Fluid exposed to a magnetic field. A ferrofluid is made up of motor oil mixed with magnetic nanoparticles. Building integrated panels of photovoltaic glass are tinted and located according to the pixelation effect derived from a photo of a tree canopy filtering sunlight. The use of computer software such as Rhino and Grasshopper allowed a parametric design process that determined the most effective design. The facade is set 900mm away from the building to create a double skin. High performance low emissive glass is used for the inner skin. Maintenance platforms are set vertically at 3000mm intervals. This spacing blocks summer sun and helps reflect light onto the ceiling allowing natural light to penetrate further into the building.

Apartment and Showroom Design The apartment is located on the 20th level above the minigolf course. It is split in to four levels, separating the service, entertainment and private areas. The northern views of Carlton have been blocked in order to tunnel views directly towards Carlton Gardens. A balcony on the 21st floor allows views out over the mini golf course and towards Melbourne Central. The 22nd floor is a private escape for Barlow and can be accessed via a spiral stair case. The rooftop houses an infinity pool and bbq area opening up to 180 degree views. A vertical window next to the spiral staircase indicates vertical movement and allows views north of the CBD.
Apartment
Showroom
The showroom design is centralised around three lifts and an open staircase. From plan view, the lifts and stairs resemble the internal components of an electric motor. The showrrom is spread over six levels. The central void creates vistas of other levels and car displays. The void also creates a circulation path from one side of the show room to the other. People are forced to circulate around the space and experience the differing views of the cars.
