Positioned near the corner of Flinders Street and opposite the Treasury Gardens, Cbus Property’s 32-storey residential tower, 17 Spring St is contextually responsive to it’s metropolitan location, complementing the surrounding buildings, while accentuating the edge of Melbourne’s city grid.
Visually demarcated into two vertical forms, the tower is an elegant and balanced design. Expressed spandrel panels placed every second and third floor further create a distinctly sculptural and grid like appearance.
Designed to reflect light and shadow, the podium provides a series of transitional heights, helping to generate a more intimate streetscape along Spring Street.
Entry to the tower is intentionally grand, reflecting the prestigious address. Bathed in natural light, a lounge for residents is located adjacent to the lobby and takes full advantage of its corner position with views towards the Treasury Gardens. Carefully selected furnishings and furniture create a sophisticated, yet warm and welcoming atmosphere.
17 Spring St was an unprecedented opportunity for Cbus Property to create an elegant tower in harmony with its inspiration, 35 Spring St, together heightening the grandeur of the Spring Street context.
Bates Smart’s architecture has done just that, adding a timeless building design to Melbourne’s CBD, while enticing those who seek a metropolitan lifestyle. Residents are revelling in an offering that fuses first-class amenity with an exceptional location in the city’s coveted arts, sporting and culinary culture.
In sum, 17 Spring St enriches the architectural fabric of Melbourne, enhancing the iconic skyline for the betterment of the city.
