According to SOM Partner Scott Duncan, 'Designing 189 Toorak Road was as much an exercise in reduction as it was in addition.' This highlights the balance between preserving the original structure and incorporating modern elements.
The redevelopment will carefully preserve its heritage, while reconfiguring it to accommodate 2,500 square meters of retail and wellness spaces on the lower floors, and a new office expansion above.
The project's upper levels will feature an expressive concrete lattice structure framing floor-to-ceiling glass bays, while cascading terraces will provide tenants with outdoor space and sweeping views.
The redevelopment project is expected to complete at the end of 2025, marking a significant milestone in the revitalization of the 137-year-old site.
