We know that the best-designed precincts make for closely knit communities that are miles ahead of fortress suburbia. Over the past decade, we’ve partnered with AVJennings to design five apartment buildings and 40 townhouses that form the Waterline Place precinct in Williamstown, VIC. These residences represent the pinnacle of multi-level living, thoughtfully designed to complement and enhance the local community. That’s important in Williamstown because it’s less of a suburb of Melbourne and more of a cosy seaside town. We’re proud of our collaboration with AVJennings - a developer embracing a vision to create a precinct that reflects and connects with this dynamic, eclectic, and vibrant community, bringing together people from all walks of life.

Complementing The Queensbridge Building, an active proposal with the City of Melbourne reimagines the 10,000 m² underpark below the Kings Way overpass as Melbourne’s Low Line, inspired by New York’s celebrated High Line. Central to the proposal is a community food truck area, envisioned as an external food court for the city. Owned by the council, these food trucks aim to bring a new spark to Melbourne’s culinary scene, which has long thrived on the creativity of owner-chefs. This isn’t about high-end, expensive restaurants—it’s about bringing accessible and exciting offerings to the community. The space incorporates community sporting facilities, including a basketball and Futsal court, a kids’ playground, and a bouldering facility. An EV charging fleet, sunken amphitheatre, and public art commissions will further set the tone for a personable and community-focused neighbourhood, serving Melbourne’s densest population. Located within a flood zone, the design integrates water catchments to remove surface water and filter it through an urban wetland rich with endemic species, fostering biodiversity and enhancing flood resilience. #thequeensbridgebuilding #southbank #melbourne #architecture #melbournearchitecture

Reminiscent of New York's Flatiron, The Queensbridge Building at 88 Queensbridge Street embraces its triangular structure, creating a bold focal point for Melbourne’s Southbank. Connecting The Queensbridge Building with Kavanagh and forming a new community spine is Hannah Street. At Hannah Street West sits the Hannah St. Hotel, a boutique neighbourhood hotel while at Hannah Street East, we've proposed Melbourne's JW Marriott. Between them, a central park and vibrant community spaces bring life and connection to the precinct. This new series of found spaces ties together Boyd School, the intersection, and The Queensbridge Building, creating a hub of connection and community - something that Southbank locals will be proud of. With Kavanagh and The Queensbridge Building, designed by Fraser & Partners, well underway, we’re excited to see this bold vision come to life - setting the stage for Southbank’s most exciting phase yet. #thequeensbridgebuilding #southbank #melbourne #architecture #melbournearchitecture

We are excited to announce that 22 Mary Avenue, Broadbeach has been submitted for development approval with the City of Gold Coast. This boutique 38-storey building features 56 half-floor, and 3 full-floor luxury apartments, designed by Fraser & Partners Associate Architect Alexandra Gilley and her team. It stands as a statement of minimalist design - where the unnecessary is stripped away to reveal the essence of structure and space. Rooted in an Australian context, this building redefines the quintessential Australian architecture. From locally sourced materials to a design that celebrates the coastal environment, 22 Mary Avenue offers a contemporary interpretation of place, community, and simplicity. We are grateful to collaborate with Mosaic Property Group to bring this vision to life.

Imagine a building that powers itself. At Kavanagh, sustainable design goes beyond aesthetics to deliver real impact. The project’s solar shell is designed to generate a substantial portion of the building's energy needs. The façade, equipped with advanced solar panels, will produce an impressive 419,020 kWh annually—meeting 19% of the energy demand for the residential apartments. This isn’t just sun-shading; it’s a core component of our carbon-zero strategy. Rising from the podium, Kavanagh’s two distinct towers embody environmental consciousness at every level. The first tower stands as a refined presence, while the second makes a bold statement on the Southbank skyline. Both façades are more than visually striking—they’re engineered to adapt to sunlight, optimising energy efficiency as they transform sunlight into sustainable power. Kavanagh redefines Build-to-Rent developments, seamlessly merging sustainable function with elegant form. We are excited for this cornerstone Southbank project to come to life, and look forward to partnering with a developer who shares the vision. #architecture #BTR #buildtorent #property #melbourneproperty #southbank #apartments

When was the last time you saw a round tower? At Fraser & Partners, we love them. Aspire - 307 King Street is sculptural architecture at its most refined—a study in boolean subtraction, where the removal of excess defines the form. Watch the full video: https://lnkd.in/g3Q_7jjE With a round plan, designed to be read cinematically from every angle, this project is the antithesis of bloated, bulky architecture. It’s all about economy—cutting away the unnecessary, building only what we need. Thanks to our avant-garde partners, ICD Property, who approached this project with integrity, faith and a deep appreciation for the artistry of architecture, Aspire - 307 King Street stands as a testament to what’s possible when economy meets sculpture. #architecture #design #form #sculpturalarchitecture #melbourne #icdproperty

One of the first of the new generation of Elenberg Fraser's super towers, 380 Lonsdale is actually two towers in one. The South tower houses a combination of residential apartments and hotel rooms, the other is exclusively a residential tower. The forms of the towers appear as silver diagonal ripples across the facade. Each apartment is given the undeniable attraction of bay windows formed with curved glass. Residents get incredible 180 degree views, while the shifting curvature provides the building’s surface with a vertical rhythm. #lonsdale #melbourne #architecture

380 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne. Decidedly cosmopolitan, 380 Lonsdale Street seems to have everything that Melbourne needs.
