Aspire Melbourne Architecture
The flagstaff's singularity and the tower's slenderness are similar, yet the flagstaff's fabric's convex and concave
features have a minor influence on the surface curvature of the tower. These surfaces come together at edges that
are sharply defined, emphasizing their contrasted curve and reminding us of the flag's gentleness.
A MAGNIFICENT
LANDMARK
With its elegant curvature, Aspire
Melbourne is a distinctive and
sculptural piece that makes a grand
architectural statement on the city
skyline. Its scale is vast – emphasising
vertical lines while exuding modernist
simplicity and elegance.
Aspire Melbourne is immutably tied to its location and
heritage. The city’s flagstaff was once the most visible
monument in Melbourne, and now through an artful
execution of design, this striking tower will reflect both
the city’s past and its future. A new landmark on the
city skyline will arise.
Smoothly carved contours emulate the geometry of a flag, with gentle undulations reminiscent of the softness of fabric.
Elenberg Fraser’s use of a singular material
type creates a graceful cohesion that accentuates
the bold curves of the design. From every angle,
Aspire Melbourne is a true work of art.
HISTORICAL REVERENCE. CONTEMPORARY DESIGN.
The Aspire Melbourne façade features a bespoke glass
material designed to reflect the shifting skies throughout
the day. A dichroic silver filter within the glass creates
a champagne hue that references the sepia tones
of a bygone era.
Across the angled curtain wall, this
distinctive materiality allows the edged forms to express
themselves as an elegant whole; the form and the
materiality are perfectly complementary.
“THIS METAPHOR OF THE
FLAGSTAFF HAS INSPIRED THE DESIGN
OF ASPIRE AS A CONTEMPORARY
SCULPTURAL OBJECT. BOOLEAN
TECHNIQUES GIVE THE TOWER ITS FORM
WITH A FABRIC LIKE SKIN THAT ALMOST
BILLOWS SOFTLY IN THE WIND.”
— CALLUM FRASER, ELENBERG FRASER

LOBBY
The smooth curvature of the lobby's wall evokes
the contours of the exterior façade. This connects
the breakout space with the meeting area and reception
desk, making a grand first impression.
AN EXQUISITE RETREAT
Unwind in a space that evokes the calm of nature.
The podium lounge is perfect for relaxing with loved
ones, surrounded by striking stone elements and lush
plants. Here, a central fireplace makes a bold yet
inviting statement in the city’s cooler months.
A SPACE OF REFINEMENT
The Aspire Melbourne pool has been conceived as a
sumptuous watering hole. Sitting within a grotto-like space,
the pool features a gentle water gradient from shallow to
deep, reminiscent of an Australian billabong.
A custom tile,
that mimics the texture of a cave, has been designed to add
a sense of depth to the space. Smaller grottos, seemingly
carved from the larger chamber, are home to change rooms,
a spa and sauna.
DINING ROOM
Whether looking to hold intimate dinner parties,
or cocktails and canapé celebrations, multiple private
dining rooms scattered throughout the building are
highly refined spaces for entertaining in style.
GYMNASIUMS
Aspire Melbourne is home to two exercise areas,

sun rises over the city.

floor-to-ceiling bookshelves house an eclectic collection
to support this high-end co-working space
