Queen & Collins—Tours by KTA + Lovell Chen

Kerstin Thompson Architects, BVN + Lovell Chen 2021

Description

The design for Queen & Collins integrates its remarkable heritage with retail opportunities and a vision for a workplace with wellbeing and social connection at its heart. This is underpinned by an urban design strategy which reconnects half a block back into the city with a network of new pathways and interstitial spaces for public access and enjoyment. The various buildings were disaggregated to express their individual character and a further four new retail blocks added. The project is a collaboration between KTA (podium, ground plane, urban design), BVN (workplace), and Lovell Chen (heritage).

What's On

Join for a guided building tour showcasing the transformation of the iconic Gothic Bank Complex in Melbourne’s CBD, including three 19th-century Boom era neo-Gothic architectural landmarks and a series of open-air lanes, courtyards and intimate squares (campiellos) of varying heights extending from ground level to level three.
