The Blue Tower (Concept Blue)

68 La Trobe St

Melbourne

This structure is a glass-and-steel parasite that has successfully latched onto the hollowed-out skull of the former Russell Street Police Headquarters, feeding on its 19th-century history to grow twenty stories into the Melbourne skyline. Within its concrete ribs, urban dwellers navigate a labyrinth of minimalist pods where the ghosts of Victorian-era law enforcement are rumored to watch residents do yoga through floor-to-ceiling windows. It is a architectural chimera where the bluestone weight of a high-security past meets the weightless, light-filled ego of modern high-rise living.
