The Eminence

Carlton culture. The Eminence basks in the refined balance of its coveted position. The brilliant lights of Melbourne’s cosmopolitan CBD do nothing to dim the graceful glow of Carlton’s European eateries and continental cafés, where a diverse and energised street scene is complemented by the stately gardens and tranquil parklands that dot the precinct. Queensberry Street sits at the intersection of dining, arts and culture, flanked by Carlton, and the CBD. A well-suited and glamorous retail destination with world-class attractions, sports and entertainment also leads the way with the country’s finest and oldest educational institutions. Creativity meets commerce, transport connects the landscape and local life is grand. Playfully interacting at street level, sculpted forms punctuate the base to represent a deconstructed terrace house and create interest around the glazed face that wraps around the ground floor design.

“The design is a delicate balance of its environment, responding to the low line, staccato street fronts of Carlton and the high-rise scale of the city.” Rainer Strunz, Director, Plus Architecture.
