This 25 level apartment tower was completed in 20001 at a construction cost of $25 million for developer Central Equity.
The tower, constructed of prefabricated concrete is designed in stepped form, appearing as several vertical masses grouped together to break down its bulk. The balconies make vertical statements culminating in darker vertical strips with breaking up the rows of rectangular windows and give the building a respectable crown.

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.
