Rosslyn Apartments is set to deliver an exciting and cohesive new residential development within the emerging architecture of West Melbourne.
Situated on The Buchan Group’s former studio site at 133 Rosslyn Street, the development paves the way for an exemplary, highly-considered architectural form within the industrial fabric of the area.
The 9 storey complex will comprise 165 apartments and 150 basement carpark spaces.
Buchan’s design for the development sensitively responds to the surrounding urban grain and context of the area. A robust selection of materials has been carefully considered to provide a sense of depth and grain, capturing the essence of the site’s industrial context and imbuing its historical DNA in the design.
The façade provides a sense of movement through the glimmering reflection of sunlight filtered through the prominent Rosslyn Street tree scape. It is envisaged the building will transfigure and modulate, reflecting the colour, textures and hues of the changing seasons, expressed through a detailed collage of colour tones and reflective glazing.
