Buildings in Melbourne
We've selected what we feel are the key examples of Melbourne Architecture. We aim to include buildings that are either of top quality or interesting, or ideally both.
We cover completed buildings, new building designs, architectural exhibitions and architecture competitions across Victoria. The focus is on contemporary Melbourne buildings but information on traditional buildings is also welcome.
We have 3 pages of Melbourne Architecture selections with links to hundreds of individual project pages.

The Infinity Centre Melbourne - 22 Apr 2013

Swanston Academic Building - 26 Nov 2012

Mash House North Fitzroy - 14 Nov 2012
The approach taken for the Mash House is one which, despite first impressions, celebrates the backyard. Or perhaps less so the traditional notion of the backyard, and more so just plain, outdoor space. The original deep and dark, double-fronted Victorian house offered a plethora of challenges; not least of all, it’s lack of solar access.
