A cobalt shard pierces the Southbank skyline, its golden “Starburst” box erupting mid-tower like a geometric supernova suspended above the Yarra. Rising to 100 storeys, it became the tallest residential tower in the Southern Hemisphere at completion, a vertical city of hundreds of homes stacked into the clouds. By night it glows like a celestial instrument tuned to Melbourne’s pulse, its crown watching the CBD flicker across the river.
