The City of Melbourne has unveiled artist’s impressions of its $35 million plan for over six acres of new public open space on Southbank Boulevard and Dodds Street, Southbank. The plans include 1.05 km of dedicated, separated bicycle lanes, water sensitive urban design and flood mitigation, upgraded tram and bus stops, including the potential for ‘green’ tram tracks, improved biodiversity and a critical neighbourhood space for Southbank.
Bookings for Open House Melbourne's ticketed tours open this Monday, July 17, so ADR has compiled a list of some of the must-see homes and buildings from this year's ticketed selection.
The fund will encourage more greening in the city, including trees, parks, green walls, roofs and façades and stormwater projects – the most effective way to protect us against extreme heat.
"The building has such a fantastic patina of age. Dishevelled layers of paint peel back to expose layers of building and decoration that date back to 1878. It would be wrong to clean all that up." Technē director Justin Northrop speaks to ADR about the studio's reinvigoration of the historic Espy Hotel in Melbourne's St Kilda.
