Port 1010: 1010 Latrobe Street. Digital Harbour, Docklands
This ground breaking office building set the standard for Dockland’s architectural avant garde.
The building was designed by Ashton Raggatt McDougall (ARM), known for their eccentric postmodern design and responsible for the original, but not executed masterplan for Docklands. By far its most striking feature is its use of the Café wall illusion on the south and east sides a geometrical-optical illusion in which the orange parallel straight dividing lines between staggered rows of alternating black and white “bricks” appear to be sloped.
