35 Spring Street is a luxury residential tower that occupies an extraordinary position on the eastern boundary of the Hoddle Grid, opposite the Treasury Gardens. The tower’s sculptural quality and patterned façade differentiates itself among other high-rise buildings and distinguishes it as a unique residential tower within the Melbourne skyline.
On a 1,320 square metre site, the 44 level tower incorporates 241 apartments. The project originally comprised 270 apartments, but now includes 241 apartments due to high demand for customisation and combined apartments which were tailored for owner-occupiers.
The tower’s design was inspired by its location. Flinders Lane is currently an artistic and cultural destination within the city, however in the 1880s, the lane was the home to Melbourne’s burgeoning fabric and fashion industry. Spring Street is characterised by Melbourne’s most important historic and government buildings. Drawing inspiration from both precincts, the façade interprets the warp and weft weaving of fabric in reference to the history of Flinders Lane, as well as the ashlar patterns found in the stonework of the nearby historic buildings.
The high level residential amenities include: a 25 metre lap pool, a gymnasium, a wine cellar, a lounge and dining facilities, and a kitchen and deck with a barbecue. These amenities distinguish the project and have helped it become an extremely successful co-living complex.
