The project aims to provide a mutual meeting place for both island residents and visitors as well as support emerging new local industries to ultimately promote interaction and exchange while offering a new way to experience the islands.
The Floating Pavilion celebrates the natural landscape by emphasizing the island’s connection to water and proposes new uses for abandoned boat parts which are used to construct the pavilions. Each pavilion provides flexible public space and can be combined to work in different modes and configurations to house multiple types and scales of programs from pop-up markets to festivals.
The Floating Pavilion Project Square: 679 m2 Proposed Program: Market; Workshop; Hiroba; Theme Pavilion
The Floating Pavilion, is based on the island of Mukaishima in West Japan. Mukaishima was once a bustling island with a thriving shipbuilding industry which has since fallen into decline due to depopulation.

THE FLOATING PAVILION
The facade is a double curtain wall system composed mainly of three parts: the outer curtain wall, the air cavity with outrigger connecting system, and the inner curtain wall. Both inner curtain wall and outer curtain wall use a unitized curtain wall system. The outer skin has single laminated safety glass (low iron white glass) which acts as a wind and rain shield, while the inner curtain wall has double glazing (low iron white glass with low E-coat-60%) that has the performance of a thermal barrier. For each unit, four aluminum box profiles are provided to connect the outer and inner curtain wall system. Stainless steel grated catwalk is placed on the outrigger for maintenance purposes.
Located at the intersection of Lonsdale and Spring Streets and adjacent Parliament Garden, the site is at the conjunction of the rigid urban fabric and organic natural form. With a total height of 240m, the Reverse Tower consists of 4 levels of podium, 28 levels of office, 12 levels of hotel and one level of hotel lobby, together with 4 levels of mechanical floor distributed through the building.
Design Concept Reverse Tower aims to create a mixed-use high-rise building with modern aesthetic and technical integration. As the wind mainly comes from north, the north-west corner is chamfered at top to reduce the strong wind load. To achieve the aesthetic of symmetry, its opposite corner is chamfered at top as well. The other two corners are chamfered at bottom. Other than aesthetic concern, the consistency in the chamfered corner and size, ensures that lateral load could be distributed evenly, thus, it gives a better support at windy days in Melbourne. To introduce more solar, the podium level is fully glazed at all sides and there is extended glazed overhang canopy to avoid rain.
