Ukiyo | K2LD Architects & Interiors

Ukiyo is a vertical hub of work and leisure within a compact site. The design captures the energy of Prahran whilst providing residents and workers a sense of retreat.

When viewed from a distance, Ukiyo’s overall form and height creates an urban marker of floating stacked volumes. As one travels closer, the layering of pleated fins and vertical cuts to oblique forms suggests a building in motion. Ukiyo is fully experienced in 270 degrees, with the three facades varying in visual permeability to respond and contribute to each of their specific street’s character.

Views, privacy, and acoustics are maximised, with office spaces and homes further customised to the unique needs of each owner.

With a commitment to environmental stewardship, Ukiyo includes passive solar design, high–performance materials, and external green walls. A dynamic inclusive environment is fostered with the creation of new public spaces and the activation of the public realm.
