Franklin Lofts: 83 Franklin Street, Melbourne
Franklin Lofts is a 31 storey 104 metre 189 apartment residential tower that was completed in late 2001.
Designed by architects Peddle Thorp and based on linear Bahaus principles1, the building captured the split level New York style loft in a modernist high-rise building and this is expressed in its exterior with groups of two windows grouped stacked for vertical emphasis and articulated by a shared balcony. The white-black-silver material palette and the rectangular and linear design forms. The top storeys form a silver penthouse which provides a setback silhouette to the building.
