Aspire Melbourne Architecture
The flagstaff's singularity and the tower's slenderness are similar, yet the flagstaff's fabric's convex and concave features have a minor influence on the surface curvature of the tower. These surfaces come together at edges that are sharply defined, emphasizing their contrasted curve and reminding us of the flag's gentleness.
A MAGNIFICENT LANDMARK
With its elegant curvature, Aspire Melbourne is a distinctive and sculptural piece that makes a grand architectural statement on the city skyline. Its scale is vast – emphasising vertical lines while exuding modernist simplicity and elegance.
Aspire Melbourne is immutably tied to its location and heritage. The city’s flagstaff was once the most visible monument in Melbourne, and now through an artful execution of design, this striking tower will reflect both the city’s past and its future. A new landmark on the city skyline will arise.
Smoothly carved contours emulate the geometry of a flag, with gentle undulations reminiscent of the softness of fabric. Elenberg Fraser’s use of a singular material type creates a graceful cohesion that accentuates the bold curves of the design. From every angle, Aspire Melbourne is a true work of art.
HISTORICAL REVERENCE. CONTEMPORARY DESIGN.
The Aspire Melbourne façade features a bespoke glass material designed to reflect the shifting skies throughout the day. A dichroic silver filter within the glass creates a champagne hue that references the sepia tones of a bygone era. Across the angled curtain wall, this distinctive materiality allows the edged forms to express themselves as an elegant whole; the form and the materiality are perfectly complementary.
“THIS METAPHOR OF THE
FLAGSTAFF HAS INSPIRED THE DESIGN
OF ASPIRE AS A CONTEMPORARY
SCULPTURAL OBJECT. BOOLEAN
TECHNIQUES GIVE THE TOWER ITS FORM
WITH A FABRIC LIKE SKIN THAT ALMOST
BILLOWS SOFTLY IN THE WIND.”
— CALLUM FRASER, ELENBERG FRASER
