in #zahahadid7 years ago

Zaha Hadid Architects has revealed new visuals of its proposed 185-metre tower in Melbourne, which will be made up of four stacked blocks with white filigree facades.

First unveiled by London-based ZHA back in 2015, the tower will be located on Collins Street, in the heart of the city's central business district.

It is expected to open in 2023 and will be occupied by the Mandarin Oriental hotel group.

The four curving blocks that make up the 185-metre-high tower are described as vase-shaped. They will feature striped or latticed facades, with oblong openings for the windows.

"The hotel's facade reinterprets this historical detailing in a contemporary solution, introducing a delicate filigree that gently envelops the building," explained ZHA project director Michele Pasca di Magliano.
