Lutetia is a prestige 5 apartment triple storey building that tries its best to revive the Tudor style in the 21st Century combining historical styles with modern living. While there has been no shortage of revivals of this style since its origins the 15th Century and the postmodern era, most would be classified as being pastiche, included in that category are many other recent mansions near to Toorak. This effort, while not historically accurate (the eclectic composition includes classical features) it is quite remarkable in its attention to detail.

401 St Kilda Road is a seven storey luxury hotel style apartment building completed in December 2009 at a cost of $30 million constructed by Probuild. The architects were Elenberg Fraser. With just 17 apartments, the building is a boutique development.1
The style is minimalist and modern, however it achieves complexity through its curved and screened street podium which is home to the trendy Cafe Vue atop which sits a compact, setback tower with views across to the Botanic Gardens, St Kilda Road and Fawkner Park.
